How to deal with workplace rudeness

As part of our continuing series Work in Progress, we're looking at workplace rudeness. An estimated 98% of employees deal with difficult people at work. New research from Harvard Business Review shows victims of rudeness are the ones being blamed. LinkedIn editor-in-chief Dan Roth joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss the impact of rude behavior at work and why the victims are often the ones who are blamed.

Anytime you speak up a ♉ eye is placed on your back. These managers don't care about their employees. When a person quits, they will just replace. Sad!

[@JimmyJaxJellyStax]

Yeah I've had some absolutely cold blooded managers that almost seem like a sociopath, then others (usually newer, not yet broken by the business) that come across more real. Then there's epic ones with lots of experience and overcame a lot of their own insecurities to be both a great manager and a real compassionate person - you feel healthy and sane around em, that's for sure. Maybe it's through the seasoning of experience in a role they love and their own personal life growth that determines if they become a GREAT manager that's rarely rude. For employees in general at that.

My advice from experience. And that works everywhere, at primary school, high school, workplace ir street. People in general are rude and brutal, and many of them will try to "joke", mock or even bully others. And the ones who are quite and can't stand back are the victims. Don' speak nice to the one who is trying to bully or mock you. Be ready to fight back and even get sacked for it. Remeber: bullies are mentaly disorders, because they constantly need to feel that they are stronger above someone. And that is what they do constantly, keep looking for quiter people, who don't talk back. Try for one time to show a bit more power to them

If you leave a company where someone is being rude to you, it could end up better for you or you could be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. A-holes are everywhere! I'm dealing with this right now. I have to work on myself, to learn to let rudeness roll off my back. After all, while it's most uncomfortable, it's really not my problem, it's the rude person's problem. There are narcissists, bossy boots, gossips, etc. and unless it becomes harassment, it's best to learn to not react. It's nearly impossible but I have decided to learn this skill. The less reaction rude people get, the less likely they are to continue to try and get a reaction. Wish me luck with this as I also wish you all luck as well. WE CAN GET STRONGER!!! 🙂

And yes, her and upper management have a relationship. So I don't bother reporting my experience working with her.

I would document it and report it. Because I have learned that when we don't report it, it doesn't seem to go well for us. The bully gets away with it, and eventually complains about the targeted person who's being harassed, first, putting the target on the hot seat, so to speak. It's your choice, but I believe now in reporting. The one time I did, I actually was able to to get rid of that bully. Come to find out, I wasn't the first person to complain. She had done it to other people too.

I have experienced two sides. Early in my career I had been rude and eventually got let go… not let go specifically for being rude but the Manager did not want to deal with me. I was also not performing well. Many years later the experience has come full circle with me being in the Managerial role with a rude employee reporting to me. I feel bad for them despite them causing emotional damage to me. I feel like I need to quit and transition to another role. I could follow advice from various peers and write up the rude employee eventually which leads to their departure. However, I don’t know if its worth my time. HR will always treat both side equally to avoid legal issues, its very tough if the rude employee is crafty.

It's been happening to me every day I work from a assistant bus I don't know what to do

Be so good at your job that the rude person just looks foolish. Works!

Yea it doesnt feel good having someone breathe down your neck!

And tell lies about your performance scrutinizing you as a coworker.

[@kurtiscal3msetccdwell618]

If your workplace tolerates rude behavior and blames you if you are the victim of that behavior after you've done everything right to stop this behavior that's when the next time the rude person is barking or being rude to you you calmly tell them "there's only one thing that behavior is good for and that's starting a fist fight. So you ready for us to head on down to the parking lot to settle this or you want to be nice from now on?"

[@antilaw9911]

That's stupid

[@kurtiscal3msetccdwell618]

@jessicaras4540 Nah bro. They gonna get told to respect me. Some people forget we're made in the image of God and they need a reminder. God hates a weak coward that mistakes his ways for confrontation avoiding.

I work a simple job in a store to make a living while changing careers. The managers have Not blamed me when I had to report bad behavior (particularly near customers). Other issues impact the bottom line right now. I am staying as long as the company will have me. Due to other issues, I don't know how long that will be.

[@maggiesalle2256]

@jessicaras4540 There is a difference between vengeance and consequences. If the manager agrees with me about another's behavior, the manager gives appropriate consequences. It appears that you are mistaken in your choice of verses. Taking vengeance is wrongful payback, but managers give consequences. Another's bad behavior impacts the income of the store and can hurt every employee. Consequences do not go away. Loving others can mean giving managers an opportunity to give proper consequences or not. In other words being nice (covering up bad behavior at work) can hurt other, innocent parties. Being godly can mean reporting the behavior so it will ultimately be stopped (or at least curbed). These are not small things. These are not personal insults but refusals to follow work rules that prevent me from doing my job properly. One may cover small insults, but one is not obligated to cover for poor work that impacts my job. Consequences are not the same as vengeance. The verse cited applies to small insults, not poor work done by others that prevents you from doing your job. Christians have to understand the nuances of the situation to know what verse to apply. Consequences are not the same as revenge, so your implied rebuke is not being received.

[@maggiesalle2256]

@jessicaras4540 Consequences are not revenge. Managers give consequences as part of the job. Consequences are used to protect, correct and improve behavior/performance. Revenge does not. Please do not equate the two.

[@Islamisacult]

So I'm having this problem, the guy was literally telling co workers to search my girlfriends name and I was just sat there while they was making comments I wanted to loose it but I have responsibilities I know going to a manager will make it worse because the job is engineering people basically think they can say what they want and excuse it with banter, anybody got any hints on how to deal with this guy because it really gets me down on a weekly basis or am I being too sensitive?

[@davidcuellar4410]

I would’ve already punched him in the face tbh

[@pangkoulee7648]

You're not sensitive. Report the person. Because that's breach of privacy. If nothing happens, see if suing is a thing.

[@Islamisacult]

@pangkoulee7648 I've left since this comment it got alot worse screws under my car tyres ect thanks for the advise though I really appreciate it

[@gamingisforlife4532]

I do agree with you what you're saying a couple of days ago my assistant store leader said I was worthless and I'm too good to be here a lot of people got mad at her she should have been let go right then and there but I had to go hire up and change to talk to someone for a third party like you said and they are going to send her to a different store but if it continues she will be let go

[@elizabethgarrett8790]

I'm 21. Yesterday I was yelled at by one of my cashiers. Who is 38 . I didn't take the situation well and broke down a bit, it's hard having to hold back anger. Any tips? Please let me know

Tell your manager and parents. If that doesn't do anything, leave. Really leave, and don't look back.

Mortgage lending is rife with this behavior. Upper management does not care how anyone is treated as long as they are making money.

[@angelacasein7059]

I just dealt with this, had an injury that made me lose four weeks of work when I returned I was basically admonished for not using crutches and received comments that I was using up workers benefits for fun etc

[@Samisegunda]

In my job what happened to me was that the manager confronted me yelled at me at my face he took off his watch and his necklace and he prepared himself for a fist fight he stepped by the door didn’t let me go out and didn’t want me to speak with the boss although he never touched me he got so close to my face that I thought he was wanting to give me a kiss 🤮 all the time I remained calm and controlled because I knew if I was the first into touching him I will be the one who lost the job and probably go to jail. But what surprised me more is that the boss didn’t care.

[@nancywilde1605]

Had to leave a job where she wasn’t just rude, but scary. And, of course, she had poor work habits. No one would listen to me. I quit without notice.

[@Dzanarika1]

Good for you. It does affect your mental health as well as physical. Never put up with those m***** f*****

[@samuelrasool4116]

I almost got into a fist fight today with a colleague after he instigated the fight. It all started when i told him that i wont tolerate being called lazy. Long story short, the manager ignored the main issue and said i was wrong for retaliating.

I’m working at a garage as a parts advisor for Mercedes. Although i like the job, some people don’t seem te like me. I’m always trying my best to be kind but it’s not reciprocated… when i say hi to that one guy he just ignores me… also the woman i work with who kinda is teaching me this job acts rude at times… my issue is that I don’t know where to draw the line… i want to be confident but I can’t because I don’t know the job jet . I’m afraid that wen i speak up we are going to run into issues with one another… quitting the job seems maybe a bit to fast but I don’t know what to do… any suggestions?

[@Blackeyemofo]

The customers and staff love me as a manager though not the general manager, he is highly rude to me. The customers don’t like him for some reason either. I want to stay for the customer though it’s really depressing to be around constant rude behavior

[@Samisegunda]

What to do when the person who got rude and aggressive with you is the manager?

[@SoundofColour-h8r]

I'm teaching art courses. Wow what a worklpace rudeness sometimes! Last week I came to work, to learn that someone put another course that should last to the minute when mine begins, in the same room. Ok ,no problem. But, when it was time to beginn and my students were waiting outside, I nicely informed the young lady (teaching sewing for kids there) that we should in fact soon begin our course. She flipped out, sworn, declared that she doesn't give a f*ck, asked "do we all know who she is" and sent me out. I invited my students and we moved into the back of the room, informing again the teacher that we have to unpack because it's already 10 past 6p.m. and we're expecting that she begins to consider to finish her class. The result was her verbal agression, and then the army of parents of kids from her class, somehow supposing that someone attacks their children (???) stormed in like in Capitol and started quarrelling with my students, who remained polite but firm. One Karen asked me agressive if I am a teacher there, I tried to answer with yes, I'm Prof.Dr. XY and got answer "I don't give a f*ck who you are, bla bla, I want you to..bla bla". At the end my students and I concentrated on packing out our things and eventually the riot group left the room. The last one was the seamstress-teacher, who yelled at the door, not allowing for any explanation, slammed the door and went away. We had already lost 15 mins of our 2 hours course. Before this she mentioned a few times how she is a good friend with "Susy" and I understood that she speaks of my boss, Ms Susanne R. This all is happening in Germany, country where most of the people are polite and professional, but times and world crisis do their thing all over the world. I expect that "Susy" will take her bestie's side no matter what happened. I don't care. I wrote anyway and official mail to "Susy" to inform what happened. Here - workplace rudeness, bottom.

[@bass-boy8264]

This happen to me too.but when ever i complain to my boss he says am the problem.maybe because am black and the person that is being rude to me is white and from same culture of my boss.what should i do?am just there because i still dont have papers.

Avoid the perpetrators as much as possible. If they say something act like you don't even see they exist. Do your job extremely well. Distract yourself with fun things on the weekends.
