It’s like when everyone eats together: some people wipe their mouths and leave right away, while others wait to wash the dishes. Those who wash dishes for a long time are more likely to break them, and as a result they are often reprimanded, while those who don’t wash dishes make no mistakes.
There’s also this effect; I really don’t know if it’s true or not
“The \"dishwashing effect\" refers to the situation where those who wash dishes regularly inevitably break some dishes from time to time; while feeling guilty, those who aren’t doing any work around them keep criticizing them: \"How careless of you!\" ”Working hard for half a day only to be criticized and blamed for minor mistakes. Similar phenomena often occur in our daily work as well; for example, those who are good at speaking are sometimes better than those who are good at doing things, and the honest ones are sometimes outperformed by those who are smooth-talking. A very small number of officials tend to be diligent when dealing with superiors but lazy when working with subordinates – they talk a lot when reporting to their leaders, but are picky and reluctant to take on difficult tasks in actual work. If such a trend is allowed to spread, it will cause those who are willing and able to take action to hesitate and stop in their tracks, while those who are full of empty talk will prevail. As a result, not only will there be fewer people willing to do the actual work, but there will also be an increasing number of people who fail to carry out their duties, are lazy in thinking, and lack ambition. To reverse this phenomenon and increase the number of people who wash dishes, we must first adopt an attitude of understanding that everyone makes mistakes; we should not hold the wrong notion that \"if someone ruins my plans, I’ll break their dishes.\" This is the result of a flawed view of power and human relationships. It is necessary to support and encourage those officials who are willing and capable of working hard, to foster a positive and healthy attitude among officials, a clean and upright political environment, as well as a work atmosphere that encourages people to achieve results. It is also important to improve the evaluation and recruitment systems, strengthen social oversight, and make public the evaluations provided by the public. Only in this way can those officials who do not put in effort not benefit from such conditions; only then can those who are diligent in doing their job and strive to avoid making mistakes be promoted and recognized. This will prevent the occurrence of the \"washing dishes effect\" – where those who are willing and capable of working hard end up suffering both physically and emotionally. The above is quoted from Baidu:lol:lol:lol
It seems that it’s better to wash it occasionally, or for everyone to take turns doing it.
I watched this recently and also have the clippings. This discusses the issue of promoting officials: those who do a lot of work, no matter how well they perform, are prone to making mistakes, and thus find it difficult to get promoted. On the other hand, those who don’t do any work tend to get promoted more easily. In the end, it is these people who only talk and don’t do any actual work, and who wait for others to make mistakes, that get promoted.
