Unwelcomeness: What Does It Mean?
Some questions to ask yourself are:
- How would I feel if I were in the position of the recipient?
- Would my spouse, parent, child, sibling or friend like to be treated this way?
- Would I like my behavior published in the organization newsletter?
- Could my behavior offend or hurt other members of the work group?
- Could someone misinterpret my behavior as intentionally harmful or harassing?
- If you are unsure if something might be welcome, don't do it. There is no risk in not
doing something.
