Have you ever DONE any of the following?

  • Ignored a co-worker, not said hello when greeted or not responded to a co-worker’s request for help
  • Spread rumours, lies or half-truths about a co-worker
  • Acting impatient, treated a co-worker as if they’re incompetent
  • Blamed and/or criticized a co-worker
  • Insisting on getting your own way and never apologizing
  • Sabotaged a co-worker’s work, made them look foolish, or 
placed impossible demands on them
  • Yelled, pointed fingers, sworn, insulted, or threatened a co-worker

When we ask this question in a group setting, many people indicate that they have both witnessed and undertaken a number of these behaviours. There are a lot of good people who don't always bring their most civil self to work.
