Hollow Passive-Aggressive

A special breed of passive-aggressive behavior that feels nice on the surface but is completely fake, emotionally empty, and served with a side of sarcasm. It’s the art of acting supportive, polite, or complimentary — but you know deep down they don’t mean a single word of it.

Think: Smiling shade. Pretty words, petty intentions. The emotional equivalent of a cardboard hug.

Examples:
“Oh wow, you wore that? So brave of you.”

“Thank you for your opinion. It's definitely... something.”

“Of course I’ll help. I love picking up other people’s slack!”

“Her compliment about my promotion was so hollow passive-aggressive, I almost thanked her before realizing it was pure shade.”

Corporate Passive Aggressive

A dialect of Corporate Jargon intended to convey rude messages in a “professional” manner.

Examples of Corporate Passive Aggressive:

As per my previous email: Did you not read what I sent you?

Walk me through your thought process on this one: What were you thinking, you fool?

I’ve received feedback from your coworkers: Nobody likes you

This was identified early on as a possible outcome: I told you so

For future reference: How do you not already know this?

I’ve CC’d in your manager: You wanna say that shit in front of Steve?

We’ve decided to separate your employment: you’re fired

Workplace Aggression

Logically enough workplace aggression is specifically aggression that occurs in the workplace. It is commonly found within a toxic workplace and can include a variety of unpleasant behaviours. These can range from verbal, (insulting people, spreading rumours, telling lies or maliciously instituting grievance procedures), to physical attacks (pushing, slapping, punching or attacking with a weapon). It’s the sort of behaviour which, if it was carried out on the street would, in many cases result in arrest by the police or prosecution in the Civil Courts.

Workplace aggression is a symptom of a toxic workplace.

Workplace Cyber-aggression 

Workplace cyber-aggression takes place through emails or text messages which are intended to threaten or intimidate. They may also be emails or texts which have offensive content such as sexist or racist material or expressions of religious hatred or homophobia. What is different about this form of aggression, compared to more traditional forms, is that it is not limited to work colleagues but can come from people outside the organisation, or even in the form of spam.

The phenomenon of cyber aggression seems to have originated with teenagers who have grown up with the internet and electronic communication. They have brought this familiarity with them into the workplace and do not appreciate that this workplace cyber-aggression is just as hurtful as any other sort of aggression.

Workplace cyber-aggression is often the result of individuals within the workplace being offended, upset or feeling threatened by problems within the workplace and who resort to this form of virtual communication as a means of retaliation. This action, directed at a person or persons within the organisation, is frequently referred to as flaming. Along with workplace bullying and workplace aggression, workplace cyber aggression can be a symptom of a toxic workplace.

If workplace cyber-aggression is endemic in your workplace, find a new job.

Cyber Aggression 

Cyber aggression is aggression between individuals that occurs online, usually a one-off occurrence or at most happens only occasionally. Interestingly, when it happens, the aggressor has no power over the target of the aggression or there is no intention to cause harm or distress to the target of the aggression, which possibly explains the frequently heard advice “Don’t tweet when you’re pissed.”
In some cases, however, cyber aggression is rather more sinister, when an individual used an online relationship to deliberately intimidate, emotionally harm, manipulate or exercise power over another person when online.

Cyber aggression is becoming more frequent as more people go online, could this be another form of culture clash, or is it just because some people are nasty, shitty bastards?
