A Rose by Any Other Name
If you have insatiable habit of giving your co-workers irresistable names like “office idiot“, “stupid” or “asshole“, the next time you have the urge to verbalise it, check yourself.
When you verbalise such derogatory terms in the presence of others be it as a joke or sneer, your co-workers will probably wonder if you call them similar names behind their backs too.
Snap out of it. The next time you get the urge to verbalise abuse, say something positive which throws the situation off tangent; like “That’s a nice tie you have on” or “Did you do something to your hair? It looks good on you..”
It does sound stupid at first, but positivity does attract positivity eventually!
Try it for a week! See how it goes!
