Rudeness at Work
How important is it to you that people be polite at work? A professor of psychology at West Chester University in Pennsylvania conducted a study all about rudeness in the workplace. Jennifer Bunk found that about 75 percent of workers say they’re treated rudely at least once a year. That can mean anything from being ignored by the boss or hearing snide remarks from coworkers.
Rudeness in the Workplace
Contemporary business more resembles a paint ball exercise than a human service experience. Marketing ploys are spattered across the media in the hope of snagging our attention. However, we are in a global economy, and our social skills need remedial attention. Social skills have not been transferred to the last two generations as a group like technology has. For example, think about how many Gen X and Y’s know how to set a dining table or how to cut their meat. News flash: high-level careers have been sabotaged by just such “unnecessary” information. In the interest of “the bottom line” thinking that dominates American business, we’ve lost the most meaningful tool we have, the human connection. I’d enjoy hearing your thoughts on observations and episodes you’ve had on the topic. Thank you. PS—Put your napkin on your lap!

So you ask me what can be done to try to reverse the rudeness of our cell phone environment? Here are my suggestions for some simple guidelines for cell phone etiquette.
