People who have a high emotional intelligence have learnt to give others respect but it doesn't mean it will come back. I have been in some volatile offices where people have high school level emotional intelligence and make fools of themselves by treating others with disrespect who treat them with respect. However, I do agree that life is short and avoiding a toxic office is the best way to go. We are lucky in this day and age where you can quit a job to go to another one and no one blinks an eye.

My boss is a good guy but he tries to do so much that he's often dropping the ball. And he's always got his head up the client's arse. He's also not the smartest when it comes to general knowledge. He didn't even know what qwerty was, he didn't know what xml is. Thing is he was a developer for many years but never updated his skills, now he's a director of the company as well. I'm leaving. enough. I know how you feel. My boss is a good guy but he tries to do so much that he’s often dropping the ball. And he’s always got his head up the client’s arse.
