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!

Awkward situations when your not sure if someone is being passive agressive with their offensiveness, or if they really don’t realize what they are doing, are always fun.  Most people have seen the episode of Seinfeld when George thinks that the waitress is flipping him off but everyone else says she is just pointing. I love it when that happens in the workplace.
