#2If this is an accurate description of what went down, including verb tenses, it’s bad for multiple reasons: leave gender out, don’t refer to oneself in the 3rd person and watch what you say as nobody should willingly be an asshole.
Perhaps the lesson is also that we have to aggressively cya. With records of the no answers and the like, it reduces the who said what bs. And maybe, we have to train people to act professionally vs. putting up with bs.

#9Never hang up on a colleague. Ever. As far as social phone etiquette goes that’s probably one of the most egregious things you can do.
