well, if you hurt a persons feelings enough, they'll quit so like all things, it's a trade off to be played entirely to the context of the situation

i'm not a fan of this cultural backlash in management writing. we had a period of was was essentially "stop being a dick, your reports are humans" and now we have a push in the opposite direction.

i appreciate the pushback as reconciling it will cause innovation (probably) but i stand firmly on the side of dont be a dick.

there will be many opportunities to offer feedback. you only get one relationship with a person and people largely quit jobs because of managers
