yes same and like they are a rookie what did u expect +_+
exactly
You definitely wouldn't be able to work in a corporate setting. Lol
The only situation, "directed" and "honest" communication is needed IS a meeting at work in a professional setting to go over proposals.
Give me an example from that meeting in that chapter that he said as being "rude", because the words I read sound reasonable to rebute the idea of putting English in the campaign. He didn't degrade/demean or even dismiss her idea of putting English in it, he simply stated facts of why he thought it wasn't a good idea. ML then even backed down on some of his points because the MC gave a rational rebuttal.
What he did was completely different than somebody being rude to a service worker because that is somebody providing you with service and you are not on the same playing level as them. They were in a meeting in a professional setting where they're expected to get honest and direct feedback/criticism in order to hash out ideas.
Agree to disagree then, i still don't like it. Regardless they clearly meant for him to come off as rude to some ppl even if you didn't read it that way because of the conversations they have afterwards, and how it's the whole conflict atm
I agree that the author was probably trying to, but failed to do it correctly. I feel like the author just put a crying woman in there to make it seem like he was being rude when he wasn't. They should have written actual dialogue that was rude if they wanted that to be clear.
I still think he was rude, but rudeness is inherently quite subjective and culture-specific sometimes, so that's why i thought to agree to disagree there
I'm just up to chap 52 but oml i cannot STAND it when people use being "direct" and "honest" as an excuse for being rude, it screams of constrained arrogance. And watching my bf make someone CRY and not say a single thing right next to me at work would be the biggest ick, i'd fall out of love right then and there. It's like watching them be rude to a service worker or not moving to make space for someone else on the pavement, like actually grow up, they better address this properly. This isn't a work-life balance issue, it's a personality issue (⊙…⊙ )
