Respectful of everyone

“You’re just a programmer.”

“You’re just the janitor.”

“You’re just a code monkey.”

“You’re just the girl that gets coffee.”

“You’re just an artist.”

“You’re just a…”

Respect.

I don’t demand to be respected.

I demand that you are respectful.

To everyone.

Including me.

The moment you show disrespect, the moment you say “you’re just a…” is the point that you have stopped being respectful and the point when we part company.

Because one day you’re going to say “You’re just a customer.”
