In your organization there’s an employee who is just getting by with minimal effort. A supervisor is aware but doesn’t like confrontation and stays silent. Other employees must pick up the slack and begin to feel bitter, losing respect for both the employee and the supervisor.

Or perhaps you’ve seen a coworker, maybe even a supervisor, who is disrespectful and rude. They think your view on vaccines is absurd and say things that are thoughtless at best and sexist at worst. Others avoid interacting with them, even if it means tasks take longer or problems go unsolved.
