Because they'll be at the office with their posters up of these women and they'll be like, yeah, we got rid of her.

A lot of people will listen to this and they'll relate to the feeling of being subtly disrespected on a recurring basis by individuals in their life, whether it's their romantic partner, whether it's a colleague at work, whether it's someone else that they interact with.

And so many people, I've seen this in some of the questions I get sent in, are keen to understand how to deal with someone that is disrespecting you. You know, because I guess there's a train of thought that would say when they disrespect you, you kind of argue and engage and try and shout them down and try and win.

But if you are being subtly disrespected in your own life by someone, what do you recommend that they do?

Okay, so let's play out a scenario.

Okay, so let's play out a scenario.

And in this scenario, I'm going to make us peers. So we work together, right? We work together in a call center. This is actually something that happened to me when I was in the early sort of phase of my career where I was working in call centers. So I was like answering phones and doing that kind of thing and selling things on the phone, et cetera.

And I remember being sat next to someone who was like subtly disrespecting me all the time. And at this point in my life, I wasn't, in any position of authority to do anything about it.

It's funny because that one instance has completely shaped my leadership perspective and my real deep belief that I have a responsibility as the founder of the company or CEO to go in search of and clamp out all disrespect in an organization that is happening beneath me because You're often powerless at work to do anything about it. And I felt that.

I couldn't stop this lady that sat next to me disrespecting me because I wasn't her boss. So now that I have the responsibility, it's a big thing for me that we don't employ assholes and dickheads. And there's actually a recent example where someone was in our business for a total of... A couple of hours. And actually in my previous company, there was a guy that walked in during his initiation.

He went like this and walked off. Day one of his job, he put both middle fingers up after his initiation, where initiation, we basically ask them questions, ask them what they're into, who they are, put both middle fingers up and walked off. It was the last time anyone saw him in the building. And because it was a sign of a character issue that would lead to further disrespect.

So if I'm sat next to you at work, Evie, we're colleagues, and you come in in the morning and I go, oh, first time you've been on time. And then you do some work and I go, not bad considering your standard. And then you're in a meeting and you're talking and I just interrupt you and you submit a piece of work and I look at it and I turn my nose up.
