Managers repeatedly disrespect employees' privacy thinking closed-door etiquette doesn’t apply to them double down when confronted: ‘Whatever you’re saying is management’s business’

The modern workplace has birthed a fascinating species of boss who treats their title as a free pass to bypass social norms. This special genus, known by many names, is a fascinating breed developed over decades of corporate evolution.

A prime example of this breed was recently spotted in a medical clinic, where three purebred specimens demonstrated textbook species-oriented behavior. While common office workers displayed standard door-respecting traits, these magnificent creatures showcased their breed's signature move: the unsolicited entrance.

While regular staff members respect the basic courtesy of knocking before entering a shared office, this trio bursts in unannounced during private conversations, HR discussions, and personal health chats. Their defense boils down to a masterclass in managerial logic: they claim knocking is unnecessary for those without private offices, and that all conversations automatically fall under their need-to-know jurisdiction.

These wonderful members of the corporate human kingdom are recognized by many nicknames and aliases, none of which is "employee's best friend."

Managers think closed door etiquette doesn’t apply to them.

The Border Crossie possesses remarkably keen senses, specifically tuned to detect personal conversations from up to 100 feet away. Their powerful St. Barge-nard hearing can pick up the faintest whisper of a private HR discussion, while their highly developed nose can smell career uncertainty and medical leave requests through multiple walls.

The Labra-door-dles are known for their explosive acceleration, capable of reaching maximum barging speed in under 0.5 seconds when sensing confidential information. The most impressive Always-There-ier feature remains their uncanny timing—a genetic trait that allows them to crash through doors precisely at the most sensitive moment of any conversation.

Physical characteristics of the Pekingnose include an unusually developed sense of entitlement and a complete absence of the boundary recognition gland found in normal humans. Their vocal cords are specially adapted to override ongoing phone calls, and their neck muscles are strengthened from years of reading computer screens from behind employees' shoulders dubbing the brees as the great Bosso Bargentino.
