first part of the code that I "hear" he forgot (No, I wasn't there and I don't claim to be) was to at least be polite to co-workers and treat others with respect....
seems that was missed a bit........
could be internet rumors...... but I believe it to be more than that
IMO the term co-worker denotes more of an equal status. The top BOSS, at times, just may have to be somewhat less than polite to those underlings that don't like to perform as the BOSS expects/requires. Then there is crying as, "... he was mean to me, mommy."
The top executive in an organization will have a tough time if he allows all below to be his/her "co-worker."
