Once people get out of hand, it's difficult to get them back into line, in my experience. "Start as you mean to go on and never smile before Christmas" is quite a difficult thing to live with, but it can work.
I think that nowadays respect and good manners are things that are almost ancient currency. Young people think nothing at all of back-chatting and being downright rude. I put it down to too much inappropriate television and bad parenting.
It's a great pity because this country, the United Kingdom, was once a place where good manners were the norm.
I'm showing my age here (!) but I find it quite extraordinary the sorts of behaviours I see whether it is in the office or on the internet. In our Board of Directors meetings, we have recently had a management consultant come in to monitor and report on their behaviour. His conclusions were that several directors should be censured. Hello? And these people are paid how much?
