Comments on: Mandatory “Respect in the Workplace” sessions now underway http://www.insidethecbc.com/sensitivity101/ The official blog of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Sat, 22 Jan 2011 17:31:08 -0800 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Carter http://www.insidethecbc.com/sensitivity101/comment-page-1/#comment-5731 Carter Sun, 24 Jun 2007 17:05:36 +0000 http://www.insidethecbc.com/sensitivity101#comment-5731 Forcing people to respect anything is inherently worthy of contempt. Respect needs to be earned. Maybe you should ask the question "Are standards of craftsmanship dropping?" or something like that. The people getting contempt may deserve it.

A total waste of time. Everyone played nice, said what the facilitators expected to hear in the session. Back to work....things continue as they did before. You can't FORCE people to change. If they are disrespectful (etc.) you can confront them, report them, charge them....whatever. "Enforcing respect" sure doesn't work in my plant.

Anyone can comment, of course, though obviously only people who at at the CBC will have gone through the session. This blog often gets pranked by people posting pretending to be a CBC employee, so I just wanted people to know that I can tell from their I.P. address whether they are inside the CBC or not. (I can't tell who they are or even what city they're in, though.)</blockquote> Why did you post this to “your” readers, if we cannot comment on it, otherwise, keep it to yourselves!!!
