Nov 20, 2019 at 1:31 comment added Old_Lamplighter @VolkerSiegel This is a workplace issue, IPS is not suited for this question.
Nov 19, 2019 at 23:33 comment added Volker Siegel @RichardSaysReinstateMonica I found that I caused some confusion, the topic of that site is indeed not obvious on first sight. I explained it above.
Nov 19, 2019 at 23:20 comment added Volker Siegel Oh, in no way did I want to suggest any relation to your private live! Sorry that I caused confusion! When looking at the common questions, the site Interpersonal Interaction indeed looks like it is related to aspects of private life. But this is only because interactions between people are so much more complex, compared to professional interaction, where much has simple rules. It's a statistical artifact. The site definition matches this topic very well. Also, there is a tag "professionalism" described by "For questions regarding work-appropriate behavior and etiquette".
Nov 19, 2019 at 22:13 comment added user111873 @VolkerSiegel I apprecaite the suggestion, but I am not seeking to change my private life, as the other commented pointed out, I just want to figure out how to make workplaces work.

Nov 19, 2019 at 22:02 comment added user111873 @bharal quite a variety, but I would say that majority of them fall into generally touching on sensitive topics, without much care about how this may affects other. Think like having HMRC auditors over, and making a joke, in front of them, alluding to company money laundering. Or other remarks that apparently come out as chauvinistic, but that was never the intention.
Nov 19, 2019 at 17:37 comment added Old_Lamplighter @VolkerSiegel context is different. We're talking about professionalism here. How you would do in a personal setting and what you would do in a professional setting are two entirely different things.
Nov 19, 2019 at 17:35 comment added Volker Siegel @RichardSaysReinstateMonica But the lacking soft skill is exactly the broblems with interpersonal interaction. Being insensitive could be seen about being actually personally insensitive - a matter of psychology. But the problem here is creating a negative effect based on it. He needs to communicate differently - Say he thinks a colleague will mess a task up anyway, and he knows he will better do it himself. Saying "You will mess that up, I'll do it" is correct, but insensitive. There are a ways to communicate it without hurting. And being rude is to 100% interpersonal communication.

Nov 19, 2019 at 17:21 comment added Old_Lamplighter @VolkerSiegel this is a workplace issue and this falls more under "Soft skills" than interpersonal skills. This is not about how to ask someone on a date, it's about how to navigate the workplace.

Nov 18, 2019 at 18:25 comment added bharal what sort of remarks are we talking about here? Are you insulting people? Mocking other viewpoints or being intolerant of diversity?
