Apart from those who suddenly in a position of power and expect to be respected. I'm talking about workplace managers who are suddenly 'made up' and behave differently towards those employees they were formerly working with.
People like that will never get my respect. A leopard cannot change its spots, i.e. one cannot change his personality at the drop of a hat when he is suddenly in a position of power.

I don't think it's respect they're expecting Floydy it's obedience, somebody has to be in charge...

Bob, I'm all for discipline. I was in the forces remember. But there's a big difference between 'being in charge' and outright bullying.
No mate, you don't know how some of these jumped up wannabes operate at my place. They demand respect just because they are suddenly in charge.
They are under pressure and take it out on the workforce.
Luckily I get on with my job and have no problems but others are victimised.
