Topic: Pride Takes the Backseat: r siblings - even our parents. We yearn for it from our peers or colleagues. We wish our bosses would recognize all we contribute and do to deserve it. The more I have thought about this, the more I have come to realize that respect is not something I need to earn; it is something I need to give. That is what I can contribute. Much like the Golden Rule, giving to others what I would like to receive for myself, respect is reciprocal. Several years ago, I purchased a new car. My fiancé and I had gone to the dealership together to choose the vehicle, jointly - however, it was to be my car to drive. A few days after bringing it home, I noticed an engine knock that was not typical or good, additionally a strong rainstorm proved the need to replace the rubber stripping around each window, as severe leaks ensued. I returned to the dealership with a request for service. I was received with intense disrespect and the final request, "Perhaps we should speak with your husband." As you can imagine, that did not sit well with me, nor did it end well for them. Of course, the issues were resolved as I initially requested, and a return visit to this particular dealership was not in the cards, for I found an alternate location to service my vehicle. Over the years, I have come to a place that calls for me to give the respect due right off the bat and not worry about what comes my way. For what goes around, comes around. I have found that when I treat those I deal with as I wish to be treated that that is exactly what occurs. Respect is a funny thing. Often those that demand it, rarely deserve it and those that quietly fulfill their ends of the bargain are the ones that rarely receive it. Perhaps I am over-sensitive, maybe I have had only a few bad experiences but they were enough to alter my way of thinking and also change how I approached those with whom I work, like, and love. Lessons learned, eh? The homework is easy when pride takes the backseat. ©by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 9:45pm on July 15, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'Pardon me while I answer my cell phone and commit other interview blunders...': love it! Gino, great list. As much as it is horrifying when it is happening, these stories never fail to get a giggle when we think back on them. I agree that some degree gratitude for the swift-kick reminder on that particular piece of our job is well warranted, that should make you think twice before skimping on the interview prep!…; Added by Becky Metcalf at 11:40am on February 10, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'Call for Mr. Hole, First Name: Jack': entally ill or volatile. Try this you arrogant idiots. A guy from the local car dealership calls you, says he has a new car in that you might be interested in, you email him back back and say ,"hey I might be, call me tomorrow and let's talk". He says , "great, send me a copy of your driver's license and current insurance policy so I have it before I call you". My profile is public information, neither my resume nor my DL is sent to anybody before I know if I want them to have it. Don't forget who is buying and whom is selling you jack wagons. Who the hell do you think you are, the only person on the planet who has a job listing. Good call out Kelly!…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 12:13pm on July 25, 2014
