Punishing rude employees

AN employee is expected to obey his employer’s legitimate directives or orders within the scope of his employment. They are also expected to treat their superior, co-workers and customers/clients with respect and dignity.

Being disrespectful to one’s superior, defying or ridiculing the superior’s authority, exhibiting outbursts of anger and frustration towards the company’s management, engaging in sarcastic communication with a hostile tone and sending angry or derogatory email, among others, are conducts which are abhorred at the workplace.
