Is it just what gets linked here or does "disgruntled" in an employer role question on Stack Overflow usually mean "I am about to be ripped a new one for entirely predictable reasons I failed to notice?".
- finnthehuman 7y agoCalling an employee "disgruntled" is one of those words like calling an ex "jilted". It's an attempt by a speaker to get you to side against the subject of the story they're about to tell, even though the story will likely make you side with the subject. When it's obvious that an employee/ex is acting rash or unreasonable, the adjective is superfluous and left out.
- Doxin 7y agoTo be fair, describing the employee in the post as disgruntled doesn't seem entirely unfair. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is displeased and discontented. That said it's probably unnecessary to pre-label, they can let people come to their own conclusions.
