I have one more question and a comment. Is the person concerned related to the MD or the owner? Let me give an incident, which prompted me to ask that question. My late friend had narrated this to me. An MD had employed an old man from his village as a helper in a large company. It appears that the old man had worked for the MD's family and looked after the MD when he was a child. Thus, the old man used to address the MD without giving much respect in his private life and the MD did not mind it at all. Once, a manager (yyy) took the helper to task and was bit arrogant and did not talk to him politely. The old man got angry and said "I will go and complain to XXX." He went straight to the MD's office and just barged in. The MD was in a meeting. He said "Hi XXX you better tell yyy how to talk politely to older people. He does not seem to have any manners."
I am sure this behavior was not due to the advent of nucleus families and the children not being brought up properly. I am really old fashioned as I left India over 45 years ago. Most of us, who migrated at around that time, have not had the good fortune of having parental support. But, I can assure you that our children brought up in an ancient culture are very polite. For example, one of our friends son (40years old), addressed his kid sister's in-laws (local English people) as "uncle John and aunty Cath". They requested him not to and just address by their names.
Most of our friends' children address us a uncles and aunties. So it is the way we bring up children that matters, rather than whether we live in joint families or nucleus families. I stand to be corrected.

No issue on how children are brought up, whether in joint family or nuclear family. The point is when the person as a child is not corrected when behaving impolitely, he/she takes it for granted when he grows up and the lenient and rather easy going attitude of the parents spoils the child and is unacceptable in familial and social circles. The first people to take the blame due to child's erratic behaviour, are parents. Hence, the adage goes "spare the rod and spoil the child".

Dear All,
The Caption of the problem is "Bad attitude towards Seniors". Hence It is Important that any employee is having any attitudinal issue in the Organisation then he must be dealt with HR procedures. He must be counselled properly and make him understand the Organisation Culture. I have only one saying with my Employees that No excuse for any of Indiscipline activities in the Organisation Though the Organisation is getting a Crore Rupees of Profit by him Alone.Even It also depends on the Organisation policy and procedure that how it deal with such indiscipline employees.If you are really HR , then you have all authority to stop such attitudinal issues.
