I read a lot of frustration in that post. I don't know if that frustration was warranted, but I've been in (non-tech) leadership where you almost just have to scream like this to get the point across.
"This is incorrect. Here's why. 1. 2. 3." no need to be disrespectful, no need to make it even call it a fuck up. either the individual has the maturity to grow or ...not. but then... I certainly understand the frustration. There's just some people... that definitely struck a nerve of the 'you don't get it, do you?' variety. like the guy who told me (working contract security), that it was illegal for us to make them go outside in winter, because below-freezing is too dangerous. (yeah. We, uh, provided them with some fairly good parkas, and had hats and gloves available. with 'if you need more' accommodation already mentioned.)(Oh, and he was only needing to be outside for about ten, or so minutes.)
