The new US President Joe Biden has made it clear to his new employees that he will not tolerate disrespect.

“I'm not kidding when I say this: If you ever work with me and I hear that you are disrespecting another colleague, putting someone down.

I promise I'll fire you right now, right now.

No ifs or buts, "said Biden as he swore in employees he had appointed at an online ceremony.

“Everyone, really everyone, has a right to be treated with decency and dignity.

There has been a great lack of that in the last four years, ”he added, referring to the tenure of his predecessor Donald Trump.

Biden said he would make mistakes himself.

But he promised to admit this and to communicate it to his team.

He will need the help of his employees to correct his mistakes.

"We have an obligation," said Biden several times.

He reminded his co-workers that, like him, they worked in the service of the people.
