Like, I get how it's funny, but I would hate to get this kind of shit from someone I respect. Would really mess me up, personally

So publicly, too. People have quit over it.

If someone whom I respected shat a bit in email about my work product, I'd be sad for a bit. Then I'd read it again and understand it's my work product and I am not my work. I can make mistakes and I can fix them, and fixing mistakes is how we get awesome.

I have received negative feedback. And I did feel just a little butthurt about it. But it was in NJ and I was new, and didn't see from the first read that Buddy was expressing frank and honest concerns about my work product and not me. I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to clue in, but I did. And we worked through my mistakes and I was the better for it. And I learned.

And when he said my work didn't suck as much, I knew I was improving, because I could trust him.

You need to learn honest from asshole.

I get what you mean, but there are ways to say you fucked up, without calling you expletives. Some days, you get angry and scream at someone, but it doesn't really make it feel amazing for the party being screamed at.

I didn't mean it was mean from him to give him feedback or correct him, but the way he said it was a bit overblown.

Not me, I'd just take a closer look at what I've done and see where my mistakes are.

It's not like we're married or something, I don't live with him. It's just an email, get over it.

I don't think having tough skin should be a prerequisite in IT.

You can tell a person they made a mistake or are wrong without being a cunt about it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

When the person doesn't see anything wrong with what they did, yes I belive I have the right to be a cunt about it.

I'd give as good as I got and we'd be fine. Not everyone is a spineless crybaby who melts down at the first hint of disapproval. Are you all little children?

Edit: Stupid question, apparently. Good thing it was rhetorical.

I hope I never meet you. You really don't know how to human.
