Employees who are treated rudely get their revenge with the silent treatment
- throwmenot5000 7y agoHow do they know it's revenge? What if the employees simply don't want to be mistreated when they deliver bad news?
- heymijo 7y agoGood question. There's a body of literature on 'employee silence' in the workplace. Off the top of my head, silence is almost entirely fear based. Those in lesser positions are worried about a number of bad individual outcomes from speaking up. Frances Milliken out of NYU is whose research I read the most, although I think the Wikipedia page is fine as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee_silence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee_silence
- delfinom 7y ago>Employee silence, an increasingly recognized phenomenon, can be costly for organizations. Examples include staff failing to speak up when workplace plans and procedures are riddled with inaccuracies or faulty thinking. Or you know 1. The bosses don't give a shit until its on fire 2. The bosses still don't give a shit even if its on fire Why say anything if your boss won't care? It's a losing battle after some point and your best bet is to give them rope to hang themselves. Then either the boss gets fired or you get fed up and leave.
