Some days I swear people forget how to use basic manners the second they walk into a place of business. You hold a door, they walk right through. You say hello, nothing. You hand them their order, no thank you. It is wild how little effort it takes to make someone’s day but how rare it has become. Do you ever wonder when being decent turned into a bonus instead of the norm?

It really is remarkable how rude people have become. Over the past decade or so it's like a lot of people have just decided they're going to be rude and self-centered and not care about anyone else. Things that people used to be ashamed to do or say are now just considered ordinary. It's legitimately sad to see how society has declined.

I really think it's because people's attention is so fractured that they don't even realize when they're being rude. We are all looking at our phones so much that we hardly even know what's happening in the world around us. It's depressing, really. But I think it's less personal rudeness, and more just broken down attention/consciousness.

As Africa Americans it’s sad how we quickly throw one another under the bus. Being apart of leadership we abuse our power. Push up who we want too and hold back those we don’t like so much.

Agreed. Common courtesy just isn’t normal anymore. People avoid contact - I also blame it on the phones.

Totally feel this—basic kindness shouldn’t be rare. It’s wild how far a simple ‘thank you’ can go these days.

What you’re saying is true…but I certainly don’t take it personal when folks don’t say thank you when I do something courteous.

Hi all,

I had two technical rounds in tcs last month and now I have got the offer letter from tcs.

But I found one thing unusual that I did not have any salary negotiation call neither any hr round.

They released offer letter directly on ibegin portal with 60% hike on my current ctc .

Should I consider this as a fake recruitement.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives?

Is this just how it is?
