Please note that the quoted statement does not give any specifics about how the feedback was given.

  It doesn't give specific examples but it does say that it could "come off as harsh" and words like "cutting" imply that.

  > "He could come off as very harsh,” said one person who has had many encounters with Page over the years. “Until you realize it was more that he was completely lacking in EQ. I mean, zero.” I think it's pretty clear that the feedback could have been given in a more constructive manner.

    Sure, just to play the devil's advocate here (I support for giving feedback in constructive manner when possible), sometimes giving a feedback in a constructive manner is simply inefficient and some manager may not have time to do it every time they think something isn't perfect. Hello X, while I think you have done these three features A, B, C well....blah blah, you could do E in a better way by doing 1,2,3. This superfluity can add up, making some people get straight to the point.

      There is almost always a way to make feedback constructive, and it doesn't necessarily involve pandering or 'shit sandwiches.'
