Or you know, have a meeting where your manager directly discusses the issue with you like an adult.

- throwanem 6y agoYeah, exactly. It's pretty wild to see "transparency" invoked in the context of literally talking behind someone's back.
- Grimm1 6y agoYeah I did a double take there. I personally believe that someone with that management methodology is entirely unfit for their position.
- perl4ever 6y ago"Literally" talking behind someone's back, as you put it, is not talking behind someone's back, in the normal sense. So what's wild about calling it transparent?
- throwanem 6y agoThe wild part is the part where somebody plays high-school head games, instead of acting like a competent adult does and being forthright about whatever issue there is at hand. I mean, I don't know what your interpersonal relationships in life have given you to consider a normal and healthy way for people to interact for one another. But I can absolutely tell you that what we're talking about here is neither of those.
- perl4ever 6y agoI haven't experienced the OP's described behavior that I recall. I was trying to make a clear contrast with behavior that is much worse, which I have experienced a lot. If you're having such a hostile reaction, should I suspect you think the "much worse" behavior is normal and healthy?
- throwanem 6y agoNot at all. You're right that there are much worse behaviors than the one under discussion, but there's still a vast qualitative difference between "not as bad as it might be" and good.
