[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1446718, member: 498"] When I first saw this thread I thought it was going to be just a generic list of things not to say at work. The fact is I think people are way too sensitive about what is said by others. I worked in the woods in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. During that time at one time or another I was called every name in the book by one boss or another. I also called bosses every name in the book to their face. I witnessed the same thing happen between others too many times to count. Sometimes it resulted in a person quitting or getting fired. On a couple very rare occasions it led to a fight. But most of the time it was met with a four letter reply and everyone went about their business. People didn't take offense. Today everyone takes offense at everything. Heck if you just kept your mouth shut and didn't say anything to make sure you didn't say the wrong thing they would be offended that you weren't talking. [/QUOTE]
