Are You Rude at Work? Have you ever done any of these? Purposely not greeted or acknowledged someone at the office? Talked about a co-worker behind his/her back or spread rumors about them? Interrupted someone speaking to someone else or stole away the person with whom they were speaking? Omitted publicly giving credit to a colleague on a project? Used inappropriate language or shouted at a coworker or superior? Sent an e-mail to a co-worker about an issue instead of talking with them face to face? Stood over a coworker who was having a telephone conversation? Knowingly walked away from the copier when you know you went through all of the paper in it? Ate someone else's food or beverages in the shared fridge without their permission? Took the last cup of coffee without making more?
