+1 for non-violent communication
The "bad" example in the blog post makes me think that the persons need might just to be validated about unhappy or frustrated they are at work. Someone to listen to them for a just few minutes. When I've seen this kind of behaviour in others or myself, it's usually because of deadlines, multiple blockers, not being able to get forward momentum, along with some time pressure.
The difficulties with non-violent communication I've found are:
a) it's hard to do well.
b) you have to be pretty calm and grounded yourself.
c) it feels like a lot of extra work.
I think it's worth it for important interactions such as with partners, family, and good friends.
