VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Edwin |DATE|1370383761|CONTENT|I think there is a mistake being made to claim that people were more deferential in the past. People in employment are more not less deferential today, Customers might complain, colleagues might complain and employers will certainly punish any transgression from accepted norms of language or failure to recognise the hierarchy. People are scared of losing there jobs. I noticed latterly while working that conversation in staffrooms had become much less free and critical of the employer.|EMAIL|aeduin@aol.com|IP-ADDRESS|92.6.70.70|MODERATIONFLAG|
