Especially the last one I find interesting, I have the perspective that if someone did dismiss me and didn't say anything or gave me a clearly bullshit reason I'd find that much more offensive than telling the truth to my face.
Maybe the person wasn't biased, but obviously the manager thought so.
- awinder 11y agoThe "you're biased" line is a dismissive remark in a sense though. Everyone's biased, to certain extents, and keeping bias out of research is really tough sometimes. But: 1. A lot of times, this statement is used as a weak crutch by someone who had a different idea, but can't properly explain their side of the position and work towards why there was a difference in conclusion. Usually it's because the person that said "you're biased" is actually carrying a ton of bias into their viewpoints. 2. Even if someone was biased, do you think telling them that they're biased is going to bring resolution? Of course not. See point #1.
- pc86 11y agoThe correct response to being accused of bias is to step back, review your finding, your possible biases, and either adjust your findings or have an argument for why you don't feel they are biased. Not to pout and say you're being treated poorly.
- awinder 11y agoI don't know what the guy did in the moment, but you're right about how you should react in that moment. That said, bitching about bad managers is a time honored tradition as old as management itself, so I don't really see the big deal with blogging about it.
