I understand that you're advocating for helping people develop a thick skin. Where I take objection is when you start talking about abuse. There's enough other kinds of adversity out there to be resilient against. > My experience in the professional world is that its full of assertive, aggressive individuals men and women included. It's possible to be assertive and aggressive without being abusive. > There are only so many slots at the top Not everyone wants to get to the "top". > Is it a disservice to create these mushy teeball environments They certainly sound better than environments full of mental/emotional abuse. Why can't we create abuse-free environments in the real world, too?

Obviously I use the term "abuse" facetiously. However, no one buys the memiore about the individual that coasted into prosperity with the love and support of everyone around them. > Not everyone wants to get to the "top" sure, but how about you let them make that decision rather than taking the liberty of handicapping them in advance. >They certainly sound better than environments full of mental/emotional abuse. Why can't we create abuse-free environments in the real world, too? Sure but they will need to compete against the environments filled with vicious, agogi-bred cutthroats who are there by choice.
