I just choose to ignore it!
I’ve learned recently that some people just lack common sense in working life.
You know, simple things like you shall not bypass the chain of command, always refer to your superior first (even if you are given the independence to figure it out on your own – well, unless the organisation you are working for operates on a more liberal basis. And sometimes lacking this kind of common sense costs you your job. I believe it is more about respecting them and for the fact that our superiors are accountable for most of the things that we do.Perhaps what we termed as ‘common’ (i.e. derived from common experience) is not common at all. So maybe we should not judge that much?
And by the way, my partner said I DO lack common sense too. But I guess my answer is like Calvin’s : I have plenty, I’m just too lazy to use them!
