While I agree that respect is definitely something everyone deserves, I think there's a lot of overgeneralizations going on.. We have plenty of people that treat others with respect and are more than decent people. I don't want to demean the people that do exactly what they should be doing.

I can definitely agree that some people see their role and title placing them higher than others. It happens, whether intentional or not. We are all people and we all have feelings. We all deserve the same respect and opportunities. But, i also think that a lot of the interactions deemed as an act of disrespect come from misunderstandings of persepctive and intent. I don't think much of the disrespect is intended to be there. Someone may be trying for something completely different, but when it reaches it's target, it may have gotten of course.

However, I think this is just the same blog that comes up every few months. We state the issue, everyone wants to fix it, ideas are given, nothing happens until the next blog comes up again. Unfortunately, just telling everyone to respect one another will likely not do much. Coming from an actual HR department from a decent sized company, a lack of respect is something that will, sadly, always be there.I deal with it on a daily basis, both between other people and directed towards myself. As much as I try to tell people to act with respect, it's truly up to each individual person, and it's often hard for people to change. But, as was said, you don't have to like everyone. I don't get along with many people i work with, and actually despise a few. But, we get our work done, and we do it well. You dont need to like everyone, but you don't need to be an ass to them.
