Good Manners & the Golden Rule in the Office & Workplace 01

[wevewonit5times]

Its 4am. Why am I watching this?

[nanlisa]

Up until the 1980's, there were plenty of secretarial schools. And of course, secretarial courses were taught in high school.

Nowadays, the office has become automated. Secretaries are now referred to as "administrative assistants." Some companies today don't even have a receptionist. Come to think of it, office support jobs have disappeared, in my opinion in the last ten years or so.

Nowadays, the jobs are mainly in health care.

[dfectus]

In 50 years e-how and howcast will become a joke just like this has.

[BurnSpangler]

i cant even watch this it is fucking painful

[TheMetalPenguin]

If only it was that easy to get a job now...

[archergareth]

[TaterGumfries]

[1955JAFO]

My husband and son watched this video...laughed like hell. Awesome..love it!!!

[mrfrostynova]

Damn Suggestions, thought this was gonna be comedy!

[simonjeste]

@mrfrostynova that's cuz Harry Enfield does BANG ON parody of this kind of real stuff !

[Gian092]

@mrfrostynova

lol so did I

[greatoldthings]

Women can wear hats inside. It's not rude. But it is for a man to wear one inside.

[theheinzification]

do get along with other is a wise advice but totally a matter of course. the rule "treat others as you want to be treated." is even a poor advice. the rule should be "treat others as THEY want to be treated."

[vef444]

@theheinzification why so?

[theheinzification]

@vef444 well, lets say i am the boss. shouldnt i treat ppl according to their personality? or should i just treat them all the same, aka the way i want to be treated?

same if im a teacher. should or should i not treat the pupils as good as possible according to their indiviual needs?

maybe im a person who likes confrontations and heated arguments, but i know my fellow collegue is shy and unsecure. should i treat him gentle and nice or the way i want to be treated?

you get the theme.

[vef444]

@theheinzification Well, I wan't to be treated nice, so I treat others nice?

[theheinzification]

@vef444 sure. but thats not good enough if you look closely. treat ppl the way they actually want to be treated. doesnt that make sense? like: my wife likes to get gifts, i dont. what should i do? doing her the favour to treat her the way she wants or the way i want to be treated, which means no gifts for her anymore?

one additional point is important though: treat ppl the way they want to be treated, as far as you can agree to do so. of course you shouldnt do something you are not ok with.

[vef444]

@theheinzification I don't like it.

[theheinzification]

@vef444 i dont like a lot of things. some of them i can change, most i cant. reality doesnt care what we like or dont like. (although im not sure what you what you actually refer to. youre not a person of many words, r u?)

[vef444]

@theheinzification Some times yes, some times no. Depending of people I talk to.

[fraidykat]

@theheinzification You treat everybody fair and equal, or otherwise you get thrown out on a favortism charge. You treat everybody nice or you get thrown out for emotional abuse. Maybe you're not the kind of fellow "we" want working in our culture. You're lucky, though, there are lots of jobs for rough lot like yourself. Most of them are hard and menial, always outdoors at the wrong time of the year, hours always far too early, far too long, and far too late, and wage always far too low.

[theheinzification]

@fraidykat could you try again plz. maybe make some sense this time. would be helpful.

[fraidykat]

@theheinzification Oh, sorry. Wrong language....let me try again... Ugh Ugh UhgaahhhUhgaahhUhhggghaah Ugh Ugh. Ugh. Ugh Ugh Ugh. Ugh. UhgahUghUgh? Ugh.

[theheinzification]

@fraidykat your native tongue? sadly its not one languages i would understand.

[t6eatowel]

[joelyjoelyjoelyJOELY]

[baystategal]

How rude for the boss to not get up off his duff to escort her out of his office.

[BigAndTall666]

She is wearing a hat indoors, HOW RUDE! :-(

[erroneousapostrophe]

It's acceptable for women to wear hat indoors under certain circumstances-to attend Church etc

[tjttzcspplt]

@BigAndTall666 You young'uns don't know women wore hats everywhere in those dinosaur days?

[chamade16]

And where were the objective competency-based interview questions?

[earthpuppy1]
