A closed door at work costs 37 minutes of focus. One colleague's small rudeness triggers venting, phone scrolling, and distracted conversations that spread the productivity loss across the whole team.
I'm walking up, we're both walking in together, right? We've been working together 8 hours all day yesterday. We walking up the same time this morning. You go through the door before me and don't hold it. Right. Now, you might think that's not a thing, but that person's like, wow, he just let the door close. And then we got an assignment to get to later on, right? I'm gonna be looking at you like, you, you could have held that door open for me earlier, right? If I experience negativity, It might cause me to be unfocused or not productive for an average of 37 minutes, which means that I might have to go to scrolling and take my mind off of it. I might need to go talk to somebody in another office just to be like, you know what Cheryl did? Right. And if I'm over here talking to this person about what you did, I'm not working, they're not working, right? And if somebody comes confront you about it, now both of y'all not working, and there goes productivity.
I was literally kicked off a Southwest flight before for being disrespectful.
