"what, exactly, is so terrible about most of these little stories."
That's exactly the point. Everyone hears this sort of thing and mistakenly infuses it with some significant meaning when really, it's just developers talking to developers.
Whether that was the original OP intention, I dunno, but it's the best lesson here.

- fredwu 11y agoHi, Author here. I'm glad there are people like you who share the same view. :) I do admit that I haven't explained things well in my blog post, but some comments here that suggest being aggressive/rude is okay and/or justifiable as long as there's another side of the story is really an eye opener for me and I'm somewhat shocked... Is being kind and decent to another fellow coworker (and a human being for that matter) too much to ask? :\

- morelikeborelax 11y agoI've worked in environments that turned toxic and what you posted is all too familiar. I learnt from it too and the signs that things are perhaps wrong are evident much quicker now. I also learnt a lot about how not to manage/lead from similar incidents.
