My favorite phrase to use is “what do you mean by that?” in a genuinely curious tone.

What if they confirm that they did mean it to be rude? I’ve had a similar situation and I just ignore people when I don’t want to be bothered or know what to say. Corporate has been mentally exhausting for me

As someone who is autistic and often comes across as rude when I do not mean to, I LOVE when people ask me so I can correct it. This is fantastic.

Abbie (she/her) :
Any recommendations for how to respond to a rude, especially passive aggressive comments in writing? I tend to second guess if I'm reading into tone over email or just getting defensive. I also don't want to set a precedent for letting people let off steam by sending me emotionally-charged emails.

What if they put it back on you, "What part of my speech made you feel like I was being rude to you?"

In my workplace, people feel free to say rude things in emails. So it's hard to engage and address. After the email, they won't answer a phone call. I'm remote.

Darryl did this on The Office! Michael was much more off base and definitely rude.

I don’t respond whatsoever and remain silent then when they ask me if they heard them I say “I’m really struggling with the way you said that and I’m trying to regroup, give me just a moment.” The calm of it is pretty effective and it also is true - I need to take a beat to be present because my anger response is pretty strong to that kind of behavior. It’s pretty effective but it can be intimidating, which I don’t mean to be.

stevietk222 :
I just tell them not to be a dickhead and that seems to work. I live in Philly though so might be a cultural thing. Also, does anyone ever intentionally try to be rude? I’d be pissed at you if you asked me if my intention was to be rude - I’d read it as disingenuous and would much prefer you to just say “that was rude” - that’s just my perspective.

Call it out the first time, or it will become a pattern. Nip it in the bud. I like the phrase you offered. I’m going to incorporate that. 🤔

Any ideas for how to handle behavior that is rude but not openly rude? Like not doing work and handing it off to someone else to complete

Charlotte Victoria E :
Can you give some examples of the rude comments you receive? I feel like I tolerate way too much at work but am concerned about being overly sensitive. Would help to get perspective on what others consider rude enough to address.
