RESPECT AT WORK SHOULD GO BOTH WAYS
<p>Respect at work should go both ways.</p><p>Something happened at work today that got me thinking.</p><p>Management announced a general staff meeting for 1:45 p.m. and asked all sectional heads to inform their teams. We were told it was an appreciation gathering following the successful conclusion of our school's 30th anniversary.</p><p>By 2:00 p.m., we were already seated in the hall waiting.</p><p>The person who called the meeting didn't arrive until sometime after 3:00 p.m.</p><p>Interestingly, just seconds before he arrived, two staff members stepped out briefly. One was an older colleague who has been with the organization for about 15 years, while I went downstairs to use the restroom.</p><p>When he arrived and asked where we were, he was told that we had just stepped outside.</p><p>What followed was an angry outburst and some words that many of the staff felt were completely disrespectful.</p><p>Then came the statement:</p><p>“Take the food and go.”</p><p>When I returned, the atmosphere had completely changed. The staff were upset—not because of the food, but because of the way they felt they had been spoken to.</p><p>Eventually, everyone agreed to leave the food and drinks untouched.</p><p>And honestly, it got me thinking:</p><p>If punctuality and respect are expected from employees, shouldn't those same standards apply to management too?</p><p>Being someone's superior gives you authority over their work. It shouldn't give you permission to disrespect their dignity.</p><p>Have you ever experienced a situation at work where someone in a position of authority spoke to you in a way you felt was completely unacceptable?</p><p>How did you handle it?</p>
