Was in a “meeting” yesterday being confronted with this and I finally lost it on the guy. He told me I was being very unprofessional, raising my voice at him. Me? How about you asking about things that were taught on day one repeatedly and not retaining any of the answers I have given you in all my futile efforts? There is no fucking way in hell this guy would be qualified as an entry-level direct report to me after four decades in industry. I finally realized that level of wilful incompetence, in addition to posing as a colleague, adds up to stolen valor and complete disrespect and dishonor for those of us who put in our 10,000 hours 30 years ago.

It is unprofessional to raise your voice in the workplace. His incompetence doesn’t justify your attitude.
