Say everyone in my office is having a weekly meeting (I don't work in an office, but just run with it).
Alright, let's say that in the meeting, Josh wants to point out that Carrie is late ALLLLLLL the time, and it really holds the team up, because theycan't move forward with projects f the entire group isn't there.
So the meeting takes place, and Josh says 'I just wanted to say that I think it's important that everyone be to work on time. Some people have beenstruggling with this a lot lately, and I don't really appreciate it, and I know that other people here find it annoying as well.'
That kind of thing happens around me all the time, and I just want to interrupt and say 'Ummm, we all know who the heck you're talking about. Carrie,you're late all the time. We all know it. Josh doesn't appreciate it, and it's annoying to other people as well.'
Is that... like... against some set of rules I was never taught or something?
I mean, even on sports teams, in locker rooms, you'll hear stuff like 'Well if some people would box their damn man out then...' blah,blah, blah. Dammit, say who the hell you're talking about. If you don't think Marshall is boxing his man out and he's getting owned under the rim,freaking say it.
What the heck?
And I know some people are going to respond with something like 'It's professional.' I can understand maintaining professionalism is a workenvironment, but in a locker room? Going back and forth in a thread on NT, and then saying something like 'Well, some people think they know everythingabout Reeboks, so I'll just leave now.' It's professionalism if it's a work environment; it's cowardice in other situations.
In my humble opinion.
