There's also been a noted change in how people handle things thrown at them that make them uncomfortable. A little over a decade ago universities started to notice that students, when presented with something they didn't agree with, would attack the messenger in an attempt to discredit what they were communicating.
There has been a shift in how people interact. Studies have found an increase in narcissism [1] and a decrease in empathy [2].
There is more than manager / IC power shifts going on here.

- minikites 7y agoPeople are tired of being treated like garbage. They're tired of seeing their peers murdered for being black/gay/etc. They're tired of stagnant wages. >A little over a decade ago universities started to notice that students, when presented with something they didn't agree with, would attack the messenger in an attempt to discredit what they were communicating. 58% of Americans blamed the students for the shootings at Kent State in 1970.
- will4274 7y agoI mean, nothing justifies shooting into a crowd, but some students at Kent State threw rocks at the heads of firefighters because the building they were fighting a fire in was the ROTC building. Some of the Kent State students (likely a small minority) do deserve some of the blame.
