Manners are not learned behaviors like that.
They are learned through modeling off social norms.
Which is why we are in trouble.

I mean, it starts at home doesn't it? However, I shape this discussion by being very "real" about how certain behaviors translate to the business world. I'll point out characters in TV shows, and real business people, and discuss their bios/backgrounds and how they reacted to the world (manners/presentation included)

Everyday manners should be part of every class, in that consideration for others should be part of every class...

If they haven’t learned any manners by the time they reach high school, it is already too late.

Wasn't there such a thing as etiquette school back in the old days? or in Europe?

excellent student etiquette is still very strong in many parts of europe.

Whoever said employers don’t care about grades and transcripts after your first job was a liar. Every lateral position that I’ve applied to as a 3rd year has requested transcripts. Why do we lie and tell grads that employers don’t check transcripts when they do. My coworker, a 5th yr, had to submit his transcripts also to lateral job. Side note - it speaks volume when multiple associates are trying to lateral at the same time

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job.

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
