> Calling someone a dickhead in any professional environment is unprofessional

The fuck it is. There is a while bunch of preconditions that need to be met first. (for example, if you're working as a teacher, its probably unproffesh, but as an engineer[a real one, not a software engineer], you need to call a spade a spade.)

You can't have "professionalism" as a mask to allow abuse or general degrading treatment at work.

crucially the person in question used dickheads non-pejoratively, it wasn't an insult. However the employer didn't follow procedure either.
