This is a good point. Some people are going to be assholes, but the best response to that isn't to respect and legitimize their "right" to be assholes. Shitty behavior isn't like the weather, the sort of thing that just passively happens -- someone has to make the choice to be a shithead, and there's nothing wrong with telling them they've made a shitty and unacceptable choice.

This reminds me of an essay I read once, called "Invisibility is an Unnatural Disaster". It may be relevant, so I'll link it.

But sometimes you do have to let assholes be assholes, like when your job is involved and you could lose it because calling out someone too much for being an asshole is taken as "hostile behavior." Shitty, but it happens.

[(Anonymous)]

then you need to let these assholes know who they're talking to, let them know it won't be fucking accepted, and if your boss has an issue, tell him to go fuck himself and find a better job.

...I assume you realize this is not a realistic option for a lot of people.

I am so glad you are not my co-worker. If anyone acted like you at work, they'd be invited to leave at their earliest convenience. You are an entitled opinion policer.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, you go ahead and try that next time it happens at your workplace, and get back to us on how that works out for you.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually I just got out of a department meeting where someone told us, "If someone's walking by and hears you talking to someone, and they think you're harassing the other person, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE "VICTIM" INVOLVED WAS OKAY WITH THE SITUATION. You will get written up for sexual harassment."

I was kinda creeped out by it to be honest, because I know any potential gay interaction is gonna have a way lower threshold then straight talking.

My mom got fired from her job for a very similar situation - not sexual harassment, but hostile workplace - someone walked by and overheard her saying "She's such a fucking moron, I wish she'd just die so we didn't have to deal with her." Because my mom had been having performance issues with one of her subordinates, they presumed she was talking about said subordinate (who was at lunch). While camped on my couch and looking for a new job, she told me she was actually talking about the boss' wife (who was trying to get her husband to work less, at the expense of everyone else working more), but she couldn't really say that to her boss.

I had remarkably little compassion (except for supporting her ass for the next 18 months) and was all "Well, i guess you won't wish death upon people at your next job."

You probably think is also somehow ok to throw hot coffee to a coworker who may have been behaving in an inappropriate way, don't you?

[(Anonymous)]

that's...not how it works. At all...and if you react to everything with agressions and fuck you's, you deserved to be fired - just like coffee anon

[(Anonymous)]

Quick!
Let's play "Spot the person who's never had an actual job"!
Ready...
Go!

[insanenoodlyguy]

Be honest anon: You are at the oldest 22 and have not yet had to hold down a job with no other means of financial support, have you?

And I'd give good odds your not even in your 20's

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, must be nice living in YOUR world. Some jobs are careers, some come with damned good health and retirement benefits that have been worked for and earned for years, so yes, MY delicate sensibilities sometimes WILL take a backseat to assholes. Because if you quit that sweet job and move onto the next one, you're going to find that THAT job has its own set of insensitive assholes because they're EVERYWHERE.

[nyxelestia]

Yeah, because getting another job is just SO easy.

[(Anonymous)]

But, like you said, most people understand that this is shitty, and that a job where customers and coworkers are expected by management to behave with decency is superior. They don't try to make people feel foolish or weak for preferring a job where they aren't expected to just accept any behavior at all.
