What's the quickest way someone lost your respect?

One of my coworkers:

  • Several of my coworkers were laid off out of the blue. (I had literally seen one of them as I was heading out to grab lunch and congratulated her on her recent wedding. She was laid off in the afternoon. WTF.) My team met in regards to the recent layoffs and my insensitive coworker goes off on a tangent about how the people who got laid off deserved it.

  • She's technologically inept. One of my former colleagues was super nice and helped her a lot. After he left the company, she talked so much shit about him.

  • Her elitist ass made fun of underprivileged elementary school students stating that HER kids would NEVER EVAAAAR have problems reading and she's there all the time and they're just the smartest best kids EVAR. I gave her so much shit for that, eventually challenging her to volunteer to mentor these kids. Nope. Never. Excuses excuses. (Thank goodness, bullet dodged there.)

  • She also likes to ask recently married people what their plans for children are, never ever considering that some people choose to be childfree OR they may have some private issues with fertility.
