Is there no sense of personal accountability at your company? Why can't your workers be trusted to take care of simple, everyday social problems like this?

I don't like interrupters any more than the next person, but i consider myself an adult and want to work with adults -- I can't imagine needing a babysitter like this.



I would say it is all too common in most social situations. It's normal that people get overexcited. People should behave, but often do not. What one is supposed to do when it happens? Find a new job?

Do you also have opinion, that generally working with adults one does not need a manager or a superior? Managers manage people, they should manage meetings.


This usually doesn't happen, but when it does happen it's my responsibility to fix it since I'm a manager. This can happen when talking to someone from a different department, and outside vendor, etc. Like folks mentioned, this happens when people sometimes get very excited and don't really mean to be rude.
