I've heard from friends there that the directness often only flows in one direction (managers being direct and aggressive to their subordinates), but YMMV.

- aleeds 10y agoThe directness flows both ways, however, the aggression is strictly top down. Ray Dalio, etc, yell at people all the time, and are praised for their honesty. This is not something that goes both ways.
- dingbat 10y agothats a great distinction. sounds like an institutionalized version of the individual tendency to excuse poor emotional regulation with "it's just who I am, a straight shooter" b.s. authentic (foolish) straight shooters would have no problem yelling in the upwards direction too

- dingbat 10y agowell as long as they are honest about enjoying the brutality i guess they are being consistent!
- frrp 10y agoThanks. What is your source? Have you worked there?
- kafkaesq 10y agoYeah, that's the exactly rub, as it were, with most "radical transparency" policies like these. Funny how these things tend to work out in Corporate America.
