I'm an aussie who has recently come to UK with my English Husband, and as part of my welcome to Britain induction I think I have been introduced to the “stiff upper lip” mentality. Hub's work have a suspected Covid19 case, HR send out an email, saying it’s ok to come in based on PHE advice, but if anyone isn’t comfortable they can work from home. Hubby's manager on the other hand called everyone (note not on email, so it's not "in writing") and told them to come in regardless, and basically to ignore “the fluffy HR advice” 😂
Is this stiff upper lip? Where does it come from? Why does it exist? Or is this guy just an a-hole?
