I disagree with parent, there is such thing as objectively toxic behavior. That said, defining what is and is not shouting, I have never seen that done objectively.
- gkop 5y agoWould somebody explain why I am wrong? I’m OK replacing “objective” with “intersubjective” if that’s it. But maybe it’s that people have seen shouting defined intersubjectively - if that’s it, would someone share an example definition of shouting that could be useful for intersubjectively labeling toxic behavior in a professional environment? My curiosity is in the spirit of this nearby comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30419969 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30419969
- _ea1k 5y agoI think that you make a fair point, tbh. Its easy to think that shouting is clearly defined, but we OPERATE IN AN ENVIRONMENT where people will think that I just shouted four words. One persons shouting can be another person's virtually normal tone but in a more tense discussion.
