Explain why your workplace is or is not civil and describe a situation where you have experienced incivility in the workplace.

I work in an environment that isn’t always friendly. While there are many colleagues who show respect to their co-workers, incivility can also be seen. I remember one instance when I was talking to someone and out of the blue, another colleague came in and interrupted our conversation and began to talk about her own problems without waiting to hear what we had to say. This was particularly disrespectful since it showed no regard for what we were saying and made me feel like my opinion wasn’t worth listening to – something which certainly didn’t make me feel very valued at work.

On another occasion I noticed that people were making snide remarks behind each other’s back while also having little patience when it came hearing out different points view; this kind unprofessional behavior can quickly lead an environment hostility where everyone just sees themselves as being right no matter how wrong they might actually be.Overall then there definitely exist moments where civility breaks down which can take toll on morale if left unchecked; thankfully though our management team is quite proactive about addressing such issues as soon as they arise ensuring that everyone feels respected regardless of their position or background. It would benefit everyone if, in the future, we were to engage in meaningful discussions that focused on learning from one another instead of trying to win arguments.
