Rudeness at work

[JP1]

Rudeness like a lot of life's little challenges is a reflection of your self confidence.

Every time I have been rude to someone or they have been rude to me is because I / they have felt threatened by the people I was with - or the people I was talking to.

Anger is a bit different, but I think stems from the same place.

My only caveat with the above is when I forget peoples names (which is rude but a genuine inability to remember) or am really tired but this is not a rational thought process.

The worst, rudest thing you can do in my book is 'run late' without informing someone - by being late, without a very good reason, you're saying your time is more important than another persons, by not calling ahead to explain you are saying the other person is not even worth a phone call.

Can I quote you when the GF does that next time to me?

I would print it out and laminate it then you can just pass her the card....

I also heard this gem last week. 'You know me, I call a spade a........... c**t '

I don't think there's much, if any excuse for rudeness to be honest.

Fine, someone might have had a bad day, but it's no excuse to go off on whoever the next poor bugger is to roll in the yard. Been on the receiving end of that and promptly turned around and left.

The things that really get to me are two faced people and snide comments, which often seem to go hand in hand. Just have it out, get it over with and move on. It's just childish and unprofessional.

Nephew been working on big farm; big boss pleasant and talks most of the time.
On a shoot day same man with his buddies, he will not even acknowledge him, flat blank.

That is one of the worst kinds of ignorance IMHO

 

[melted welly]

It's snide, sneaky, conniving behaviour that I find worst.

Puts bad feelings thru workforce.

Family business guilty of this, man-children playing playground politics who think the way to show their worth is by disrupting and doing down the efforts of others. Makes for an unpleasant atmosphere and dangerously disruptive to productivity.

I get rude people on the phone relatively often.

If they’re bad they have no chance of any discount, goodwill or other favours. If they’re really bad, they will probably be trouble so I won’t deal with them.

Frankness is good. Bluntness is usually ok (within reason) and rudeness is is unacceptable.

So? How is that relevant?

Do you need to call for a quote on a new trailer when your cat has just been run over?

Depends if you used the old trailer as a funeral pyre!

The worst sort of rudeness is the behind your back snipes, not the face to face.

I don't know... I couldn't give a rat's ass what people say about me when I'm not there.

To be totally honest I couldn't give a rats arse what people say about me when I'm there.... just an age thing I think. As I'm getting older the less I seem to say and the more I seem to watch and listen, a lot of the time laugh.

'Keep your circles small, the smaller the circle the less bulls**t to deal with' Grandad, had some fine sayings

Everyone has an opinion, just like a bottom hole. Most of what comes out of these peoples mouth that everyone is comparing is often the same substance
