Researchers also found that some employees who reported being the victims of rude behavior often were rude themselves. At the same time, they found a disturbing trend of victim-blaming, where workers who did nothing wrong were seen as deserving rude behavior and disrespect.  The study authors suggested the need for training to reduce managers’ biases and subjectivity and to help them identify and address rude behavior fairly. This training should increase awareness of issues that may be influencing their perceptions and decisions.  Read the full article.
