GRWhen someone offends us, we tend to assume the worst:
They’re careless. Disrespectful. Undermining us.
But studies show we’re usually wrong.
It’s called the Fundamental Attribution Error—we blame others’ actions on their character, while excusing our own because of circumstance.
Add cognitive overload and negativity bias to the mix, and our brains are wired to misread others at work.
Hanlon’s Law helps you keep perspective and avoid overreacting.
Because most of the time, it’s not bad intentions. It’s distraction, stress, and lack of awareness.
The next time you feel triggered at work, ask yourself, “Is this really sabotage… or just plain stupidity?”
Drop a ✔️ if you’ll try Hanlon’s Law to lower your stress levels at work.
