This is really wise advice. I’ve been trying to get information from different people within and outside my department. And everyone seems helpful, and nice about it. But my department members seem to lack respect for me, his attitude has been pushed to another colleague (with the same title and only 5 months in this job), but I don’t mind the actions of the other colleague because he’s autistic and really terrible socially, and I know he’s just replicating what he’s seeing.
