Writers on Writing: Ernest Hemingway. Top Story - July 2022.
About a month ago, I read an article on here by Following the Flow called "Why 'Write Drunk: Edit Sober' is Terrible Advice".

It's unfair to expect employees to put up with disrespectful behavior from people they serve when the same standards don't apply to coworkers and employers. By creating a culture of respect at work, you can protect yourself and your employees from clients who engage in bullying behavior and ensure that everyone feels safe in the workplace.
