Criticism without suggestions for improvement is almost always useless.
- Jensson 4y agoThen why do company constantly ask me to "score this phone call", "score this driver", "was this person helpful?", "what did you think of this recommendation?", "could you spend some time to answer this questionnaire what you thought of that widget you bought"? So to me it seems like criticism without suggestions is very valuable, it is called data. Suggestions from amateurs are usually bad and misleading, just highlighting a problem so that the expert can come up with a solution is the most efficient way to work in most cases.

- Brian_K_White 4y ago"This food is terrible" merely needs to be true, and anyone can say it, even people who aren't chefs. This is a ridiculous barr that only sorta kinda sounds reasonable if you just want an excuse not to like the message or the messenger.
- simplotek 4y ago> "This food is terrible" merely needs to be true, and anyone can say it, even people who aren't chefs. If you bitch about how "this food is terrible" but you do nothing to make it more palatable or order something else and instead just stand there eating while complaining and reordering and asking for seconds... The food is not terrible, and you just enjoy bitching.
