Do a lot of young people lack interpersonal skills in the workplace and life in general now?

That's not to say I'm deliberately obnoxious or offensive, I've worked with people with all sorts of personalities, all shades of political opinions, people with mental health problems, people who are annoying/boring/attention seeking etc, but mostly really nice friendly people. Never had any real problems with any of them, it's been a good learning experience in how to deal with different sorts of people. 

Unfortunately your postings suggest otherwise , as does your apparent arrogance   and disregard  for  Safe, Respectful and Inclusive workplaces. 

What were currently seeing whether it's McDonalds , the Ambulance Service, the Fire Service  ( as organisations where  SRI has hit the headlines   multiple times in the past  couple of years) or  any one of a  whole range of  different  employers is that  there is a renewed and vigourous   effort to ensure that workplaces are Safe, Respectful and Inclusive  and that includes  dealing with  workers who beleive they have a riaght to a parasocial  relationship with their  colleagues.

If there was no social interaction allowed between work colleagues then I can think of at least 7 marriages that wouldn't have happened, plus numerous affaires

ooh look a Strawman 

ooh look, someone who's losing the argument, resorts to cheap jibes and also loses respect.

I've always worked in safe, respectful and inclusive workplaces. Not ones run by controlling bullies like you come across as, who think they can tell other people what they can think and do. We're through. You're not telling me what I can or can't do at work. Well, you can, but as you'll shortly be on my ignore list I won't read it.

you  clearly are a fantasist ,  the fact is if you  were  working the same woirkplace as i am and continued ot flout the roules and display  the  poor attitude  you are currently   displaying you would weither be  subject of disciplinary action or the subject of a greivance and a complaint under the Digniuty at Work policy.

I didn't "create the argument".

But to save you from further embarrassment, I shall say no more on the subject.
