Did I miss the memo on decorum being overrated?

Friday, March 27th, 2009

I swear, the things that come out of people’s mouths will never cease to amaze me. I’m a proud Texas girl and us Texans can be crude, outspoken, and non-politically correct at times. It’s a part of the charm you aquire the moment you’re born on Texas soil!  However, business is not the place for it. Especially in mixed company/generations.

People in the business world at some point decided they had no regard for all kinds of things that were previously, and still are, offensive. I’ve been cussed out by sales people for not wanting their product, called sweetie and good lookin’ in  meetings about business affairs, and hit on by married co-workers twice my age. I used to think only smaller companies had thrown the decorum out with the bath water, but oh no! For once I can honestly say, size really does not matter!

There are some things you just don’t ask a lady

One of those things is her age. Another one of those things is anything related to the type of undergarments she is wearing. That is unless, you’re in one of the following situations:

  1. You’re in a committed relationship with her.
  2. It is your sole intention to piss her off.
  3. You work for airport security and the metal detector wand goes off when you scan her no-no area.

Otherwise, keep those inappropriate questions to yourself. Thanks!
