    Absolutely awful shit and I would be ashamed for decades if I acted like this to another person.

    Really shows the worst of him here. It’s rare that he becomes this toxic and humiliating.

      To his credit he undertook sensitivity training and is a much, much, better communicator now.

      He used to channel the whole juvenile angry-but-gifted programmer crap, accepted (eventually) the criticisms and did the right thing: changed.

      I agree. In a leadership role it’s one thing what you say to a person in front of others and a completely different thing what you say when alone with them…

        To be fair, if he said what he wrote here in private, it’d still be extremely bad leadership.

        Obviously he should correct them and point out why, but maybe not trash on them entierly.

      I think he’s being fair and balanced. Also please stop calling mild irritation “toxicity”, it only makes you sound like a whiney douchebag who cries whenever they’re questioned about anything.
