Woah I know someone from the management level that fits your description currently very much.
I had a tough time in the beginning dealing with his sadistic acts and irrational rules he tried to implement "to make the company a better place". There were confrontations by various coworkers wth him & including me. But I dare to bring him to the boardroom.

Eventually even my director told me to ignore him. LOL.
Yeah that works, everyone usually just give ignore him & "act stupid but think smart" it save a lot of saliva and energy thn. to deal with him. Usually I auto filter him away once I get off the office & I keep myself busy with work or etc. stuffs. Anything talks or "friendly treatments" he gives me, I just maintain the cold stone look & cut short all talks. He's super artificial in showing how much he cares for the workers in front of the management. Once the boss are gone, he treats us like slave or invisible.

So I treat him like a fart. :D

Respect and attention are two completely different things....

Ignore them.

First, you have to understand that whether or not someone deserves of respect is very subjective, of course in your case you are entitled to judge. Afterall, you are talking about your attitude towards the person. Well, you either ignore the person or make him understand you have none for him. If you cared for him though, be more loving, you can actually help the person grow to be a more likeable person.

Tell them to stop doing what they are doing that makes you want to come up with the conclusion that they don't deserve respect. That should take care of it . . .

not a thing......

We don't know the full story here. Respect them, insofar as the circumstances allow. To do otherwise is to reduce you to the level you think they are at, and besides it is always better to err on the side of generosity. Be the nicest person you can be, and you will never regret it.

Agree with the majority. Best to ignore that person.

hi :)
If he is too bad I will tell him that I dont respect him in my heart so there is no point in treating him/her with respect outwardly. If he or she reacts badly I will also tell him/her what it is in his behaviour that repells me
If he is not so bad I will be polite but honest in pointing out that his "demand for respect' is not so rational and he or she needs to be a little more self sufficient and self assured.That people not being sugar and honey to him should not make any difference to his life.

By the fact that you cant just simply ignore him/her, tells me that he/she is probably your boss. I was in circumstances like that. If they are disrespecting you, stand up for yourself. I'm not saying be rude. Just have a civilized one-to-one conversation about what you think is wrong. Most sane people will listen. If you think there is no way you can have a proper conversation, here is what you have to do. Its bold but it worked for me. Once they start snapping about respect, boldly say you don't have any respect for them because they haven't earned it. Sometimes people need for other people to get to their level to listen and understand what you are trying to tell them. With that, you will also earn the respect of your co-workers for standing up for something that is unfair to all of you. Its part of been a leader. Standing up, for what you believe in.

I would say that respect has to be earned and not to be taken for granted.

pkwater

s7evens

Pam H

Let them know respect is earned.

aUDREy TTT

Tell him straight on his face...

Tell them that they look pathetically silly becoz you don't go asking for respect, you EARN the respect. Just ignore these people as ignorance is bliss, they'll come round to finally realise that you don't respect them.

xxSangoxx really love L and Kiba

i just leave the people alone and i will keep my grudge for ever...

Respects of an individual canot be gained through demanding. If one deserves respects from the other, he/she would get them even without any demanding.

In your situation, the best way is to ignore him. There isn't any point to argue with people like that. You don't need to be disrespectful to him, just ignore him.

Steve

Don't pay them attention.

kathy w

frekin ignore them!

How do you decide that the person does not deserve respect?
And the best way to deal with it is to state your own conviction without judging the other person or say send a"you" message.
So - refrain from saying: "you are completely out of your mind"

Another way might be to ask them why they act or think in the particular way that you think does not deserve respect.
