On the example mentioned in the article about the "um" issue, getting feedback like that from someone (a boss, or whoever) is one thing when you have actually requested it or when it's part of some kind of formal meeting where mentorship or guidance is expected. But during some random/off-the-cuff chat "on a walk" or in a hallway or whatever? That's ridiculous. I wouldn't want to work at a company where every time I give a presentation or put some kind of effort out there, some boss is going to pounce on me and start telling me what they think I did or did not do right or if I seem stupid or whatever. Way to go turning your employees into cowering bundles of nerves. Ugh. Every time I think maybe, just maybe, the cult of being a Jobs-ian *-hole is loosing its appeal in tech circles, this kind of stuff rears its ugly head. Meh.
