As a rule, you should give the same grace to others that you give to yourself. 

It’s kind of the golden rule. Treat others how you’d like to be treated. If you can understand yourself and your needs, you can extend those out to others and understand where they’re coming from. It’s not a difficult thing to do, even in the workplace. We all have similar needs and goals, even if they present differently on the surface. At the end of the day, we all want work-life balance, we all want time to live our personal lives, and we all want a little bit of forgiveness every now and then. And at work, we want to be treated like equals. Of course, not everyone is going to get the same privileges. You have to earn some of them via seniority, but we can be vigilant about who gets what and when.
