And so, Isla has this thing where she holds doors open for me. I don’t make her do it, she just does. On a recent family road trip, after a coffee run with friends, Isla was there at the door, on her mission. A stranger comes along and pulls the door wider. Isla stumbles back, but not that far, still looking at me. Takes up her space between me, the door, and the stranger. And then the stranger says to my five-year-old, who has the same nose-wrinkle when we make our famous disgruntled face, this stranger says: Move away from the wheelchair lady. Now. A few things. Please don’t talk to my child using baby-talk. Even when she was a baby, we didn’t use baby-talk. Don’t come up to my child on a mission already; decide to ‘help’ and make her trip over. Stranger, don’t expect my child to listen to you. I have taught my child to be kind, but she doesn’t have to listen to strangers. Especially those who suggest she move away from her parents. Especially those who assume that the wheelchair lady cannot possibly be one of her parents. Sitting right there. Using my chair. To […]

People who experience workplace rudeness report lower engagement, suffer more mental and physical health problems, and are more likely to burn out and quit their jobs. But while some research has indicated leaders take reports of bad behavior seriously, get the facts, and punish offenders, a new series of studies paints a much bleaker picture. First, researchers show that victims of rudeness were largely perceived by their manager as perpetrators of rude behavior. And the employees who were reported as being rude to others weren’t seen that way by their manager under two conditions: when they had a tight relationship with the boss or were high performers. Second, victims of rudeness were perceived as performing considerably worse by research participants than employees who hadn’t been mistreated, regardless of the employees’ actual performance. To address this, leaders must become more aware of their biases and how to prevent them from affecting their decision making.
