Can confirm. Was recently informed I was "not a team player" for pointing out obvious facts that happened to be inconvenient. A German friend of mine told me that when she was immigrating here, she took a class that was supposed to help with integrating into American culture, she was told to always wrap any sort of criticism in a complement sandwich.

- twiceaday 8y agoBeing disagreeable is okay but being disrespectful is not. Sometimes people conflate the former with the latter though so you have to be careful.
- finnthehuman 8y ago>but being disrespectful is not Nah. It’s fine. You might find it advantageous to navigate the world by humoring the people too full of themselves to realize they don’t deserve an ounce of respect. But they don’t, and it’s fine if you don’t want to give it.
