It frustrates me to no end to see people apologize for the abusive behavior of powerful people. If this engineer can be expected to find a better font, his boss can be expected to express what he found so unacceptable in an actual critique.
- aikah 8y agoYep, apparently harassment, verbal assault and abuse is just seen as yet another management technique these days and engineers will apologize for it, which is a paradox in the era of "safe spaces" and "code of conducts".
- acjohnson55 8y agoI really don't think it's a new thing. If anything, it's less acceptable than ever. Even in the military, I think they've toned it down from the Full Metal Jacket-style abuse.
- mrhackerpoland 8y agoWhat I've seen is that people who take it up with HR get blacklisted after multiple complaints and will not find much success. You need perseverance to take every blow and still stand on your feet.
- mathw 8y agoThat is not the person's problem, that is the HR department's problem and the company's problem. And, really, a reason to look for another company.
