Question

Every time Kiersten’s phone buzzed during a meeting, she would step out to either take the call or respond to the text. It did not seem to matter, if she was the one presenting at the time or just listening. She did not even seem to notice the eye rolls from the others or any of the other nonverbal cues. How would you describe Kiersten’s behavior?

Answer 1

Answer:

Disrespectful and ignorant

Explanation:

It is against the decorum of a meeting to use phone during the meeting unless it is an emergency. Since Kiersten's phone was buzzing again and again during the meeting and the fact that she left the meeting room each time to respond to the messages and phone calls. It is plain disrespectful because she did not care about other peoples time who were also present in the meeting.

Further, she also went ahead and ignored the reactions of the people which clearly stated she was so self absorbed to notice how displeased everyone else in the meeting room was.
