No way !Gotta think carefully about this... Might upset some coworkers
I think there's been a misunderstanding, I was making comments about general workplaces - not about the situation in the article.
Or "this is a workplace, you're my coworker and not my friend. My stance on this matter is none of your business. Moving on."
I'm somewhat amused by the fact that if we were workplace colleagues, I'd probably report this discussion to HR.
From another perspective, it sounds like you're trying to stop other workers from telling you to get bent if you treat their colleagues improperly! :)
It’s a passive aggressive and unprofessional - you don’t want your employees talking to each other this way, so don’t start it either.
Because it's so hard to come up with something inappropriate to do in a work environment?
Treating workplace relationships with the same techniques as romantic relationships is a bad idea, IMO
You think your coworkers don't do that in the office?
Is “the boss is acting like a huge turd” something you’re allowed to discuss at your workplace?
