How do you deal with colleagues making inappropriate and rude comments about other members of staff? It can make an office space really awkward!

I call it out! As a man in this industry, I do my best to not let that kind of crap slide. I don't want to work in a culture where people are made uncomfortable by rude people who make rude comments.

I guess it depends on what is being said. I have and will go to HR if something makes me uncomfortable enough. Otherwise I try to just ignore negativity as a general rule.

Please don't shrug it off. Call out their inappropriate behavior and/or go to your manager. People can't get away with thinking that this kind of thing is acceptable.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
