You shouldn't dismiss a criticism just because it's delivered rudely. At the same time, why deliver a criticism rudely? What does that gain over delivering it politely? Usually, if you're delivering a criticism, the intent is

There are probably also ways of justifying a rental through a business expense vs personal assets. I know a few businesses that pay for living expenses for some of their top level corporate staff under certain circumstances. I've seen

The more modern trend of businesses passing risk sort of flies in the face of the old rationale of business ownership taking on risk which justified the rewards of doing business. Now you're just doing business wrong if you don't
