All the “advice” (rules) around respect.
“Respect is earned, not given.”
“Respect your elders.”
“Respect your higher-ups.”
Objectively, these are right. But they do not take into account the fact that, guess what, the world is not fair. People love to say “the world isn’t fair” and “life isn’t fair” to dismiss complaining, but fail to address it when it isn’t an inconvenience to them. Anyway, that being said, the three “advices” (rules) above fail to take into account:
1) person in position of power ≠ authority on any other position
2) experienced person ≠ respectful person
3) inexperienced person ≠ child.

Be the bigger person. Sometimes this is good advice but generally it means bowing down to someone who wants to hurt you.

“It doesn’t hurt to ask.”
It can absolutely hurt to ask.
It can be a sign that you have no respect or care for someone’s position or situation and that you may thoughtlessly be putting them in a situation where they need to tell you something you should already know.
