Can you give a concrete example of this behavior? I'm sure I can think of some, but I'd like to be more clear on what you had in mind.
- lisasays 4y agoThis comment a few branches over describes a fairy typical example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35363501 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35363501 Then there are all kinds of examples not specific to matters of pure and simple rudeness (e.g. all manner of politicking, manouevring and bad-mouthing that goes on), as well as not defending / standing up for others when you should, etc. There have been plenty of serious articles written about this topic; the search term to look for would be "workplace hygiene", which is the somewhat more formal description. ("Toxic work environments", "workplace bullying" also work but tend to be more second-hand, and sometimes spammy).
