People always talk about "hiding things from the top but not from the bottom", but I don't quite understand the meaning behind it.

I have just started working and I have always heard this saying. I have thought about it but I don’t understand. If you keep it a secret, if the boss knows about it, you will be dead. Can you please explain it.

Haha, you can't possibly report everything to your boss, right?

It’s okay to hide some things from others and you can handle them yourself. There is no need to let the leader know.

Some specific tasks do not need to be reported.

There are some things that the leader is willing to turn a blind eye to, out of unwillingness to take responsibility and to have a better outcome afterwards. It is better for the leader not to know than to know, so it is better to hide these things from him, but these things cannot be hidden from the people below who are actually handling them.

It depends on the situation. It takes ability to hide it. If you feel that you can't hide it, you can tactfully hint to the leader.

It's easy to talk about it, but I'm confused about what should be hidden, what should not be hidden, and how to grasp the scale. Can't judge!

It's hard to be sure. Can someone explain it more clearly?

It's right to hide it. You can see how the masters do it and just follow it. Remember, never report everything to your boss, otherwise your colleagues will hate you and treat you like a villain. It is impossible to hide the help from your colleagues when you can, because they are all the actual executors.
