Are you or a manager in your organization perceived as abrasive?
Maybe it's caused by being too direct, frustrated by others' incompetence, stress resulting in angry outbursts or managing with a "my way or the highway" style, and/or employees unhappy about something else.
Employee complaints of extreme micro-managing, rudeness, disrespect, belittling, condescending behavior as if no one else is competent, bullying and/or emotional overreaction are ALL warning signs of significant distress in the workplace that may be causing problems with how the employees work together to deliver the organization's products and services. It is also guaranteed to damage your ability to get work done, particularly when you need the cooperation of others.
Whether the reported behavior is true or just employee perception, complaints such as these are warning signs that destructive interpersonal strategies exist in the workplace that can lead to poor customer service, continued employee complaints, unwanted turnover, increased unplanned absences, increased physical health issues, and even lawsuits.
