Comments & Opinion
> Well put! Good you broached the subject as so many managers look the other way thus creating a greater problem...essentially creating disaster. The few managers that have a backbone have no problems as they do not listen to petty things and do not hide behind anyone. Good to remind individuals it is a game where there needs to be respect and coexistence.
