I had a conversation with someone who was venting about her boss’ rude behavior.  He berated her for being late (even 5 minutes), overworked her during the day, and failed to ever show appreciation.  This person is a hard worker, so I trust she’s not exaggerating.

My response to her was, “Respect for people is respect for people.  If he’s that way with you, then he likely doesn’t respect customers or his own family either.”

She found it to be more profound than I did.  In a conversation a week or so later, she spouted off at me, “Respect for people is respect for people.”

Maybe there’s something to that.
