I worked for an organization where the owner would NEVER say hello to anyone unless you say hello to him first. A total DB.

It’s scary to me, how many parents feel it is an appropriate way to punish. You should have seen this Mother this morning at drop off, yelling at her son and name calling him through the car window because he closed the door a little hard. I think if I was anywhere that wasn’t in front of my sons school it would have turned ugly. Some people really just don’t deserve the kids they are blessed with.
Actually... Embarrassment can be a very affective parenting tool... If use properly
But I would agree, all that lady did was prove that she can't handle her kid...
I work with kids everyday who’s parents have that same mentality and I assure you it is not an effective form of discipline. The effects are often long lasting, sometimes devasting and a recipe for disaster when considering your child’s emotional health. It’s not my business how you parent your child or if you even use this as a tool for punishment but if so I suggest you read up on the subject matter. That’s all I will say here because I am very passionate about the subject at hand and it isn’t appropriate for here.2 -

I work in IT, and will let nice people jump the queue. Execs better be having a serious issue if they are going to be rude and want quick service.1 -

I work in IT too...oh it is a wonderful feeling when someone arrogant and rude does not realize that something which usually takes me 15 minutes to solve - I deliver to them in 3 days!

maybe the lady was having a really bad day and lost it and felt bad like 2.5 seconds later bc i’ve yelled at my kid i would be really surprised if any parent hadn’t yelled and felt bad about it tbh
Sure, we’ve all yelled at our kids from time to time. That’s wasn't what made me think what I did. It was the names she was yelling at her son. I hope most parents aren’t calling their children a POS and a bastärd while yelling it out the window in front of their school because they closed the door a little hard. Then suddenly and calmly they turn their head back to their youngest and say “have a good day sweetie” like nothing even happened. I can’t think of any excuse that warrants treating children that way.3 -

I think we're talking about two different things here...
Example...
When I was young and got out of line, one of the threats I would commonly here was... I'm going to tell your grandfather...
For me, this was the absolute worst thing ever...
I just couldn't bare his dissapointment, it was well, embarrassing for him to see me like that...
I'm not talking about publicly shaming your kid 😂... Of course I would never do that
But at the same time, you also can't be afraid to get ahold of them when they need it sometimes... People around or not...
Another ex... When you make a kid say sorry, it's the embarrassment that's really the teacher

Unless you are in the military.....then your rank is also your paygrade and thats exactly what you get called by.1 -

Maybe, but if you're not it's just disrespectful.
And, that's your rank. Not your salary. I feel like there's a difference. A rank can be a reminder of your achievements.2 -

No, rank is also your paygrade and the vast majority of rank is earned through time served not on specific achievement. When you are a private you can be called as such and it is your paygrade of E1......enlisted one.....in the Marine corp which i served the next rank is PFC, private first class....E2....then Lance Corporal.....E3.....and so on. Its not disrespectful its what you have earned to that point and nobody has issue with it.
Now the military is different then the civilian world, but in say, the union construction trades. They have titles of mechanic to apprentice.....which is exactly their pay grade.
At first glance i thought i had an issue with people being called by their paygrade, but at second look i dont think its a big deal. I think context is important in how its done, and that would be my only issue.4 -

I was referring to it being disrespectful in terms of the civilian population. When I see the word 'salary' I imagine that means referring to someone as a number.
Maybe it's just me, but I consider length of time served to be an achievement.2 -

Haha....you are serving your time in the miltary once you sign those papers whether you like it or not. The achievement comes in choosing to serve your country. After that your time served is mandatory. And as long as you arent a total shitbird you will gain rank just for being there. I do find those that choose to reenlist and make it a career to be honorable though.
But i guess im not as sensitive to being addressed in a professional atmosphere in the term in which you have earned. That may be something i should look at and rethink, i honestly never thought about it. Not saying i would change my mind, but you have at least opened it to consideration.6
