Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of 'All In The Mind' takes an unexpected turn by exploring the toxic effects of rudeness, and how it can affect mental health and workplace dynamics. You'll hear from Orla, a psychiatric nurse, who shares her experience of dealing with dismissive behaviour from colleagues in high-pressure situations. Her story highlights the subtle yet damaging impact of incivility in the workplace.
Dr Lauren Park, an organisational psychologist, sheds light on how rudeness often goes unchecked due to its ambiguous nature and low intensity. The episode also touches on broader societal trends, questioning whether society is becoming more rude, especially in the wake of the pandemic. With insights from Steve Zek and Matteo Bonatti, co-authors of 'Recovering Civility During Covid-19', listeners gain a perspective on how civility facilitates cooperation and signals respect, which can break down when rudeness prevails.
Are we all just a bit too sensitive or is there more to this issue than meets the eye?
