There's a difference between attacking an experience share and attacking an attack.

This level of generalization is naive.

This is the type of cynicism the post is talking about and it's just trivially untrue.

It's like saying that employees only want one thing: to get their paycheck.

“Express this as X for better performance” doesn't make people cry. So either

A) Your co-worker is more sensitive than anyone I've ever met B) You are expressing yourself much harsher than you think you are

Again, I don't know you but pattern-matching based on my experiences it's almost always B.

I think you're receiving pushback in the comments because it comes off as though you think it's OK to be rude in the morning.

Additionally, if you made someone cry I think most of us draw comparisons to similar situations we've seen where, generally, the person who thinks they're just being blunt is actually very offensive and usually the most sensitive to critique.

Can you give an example statement showing the difference?
