This is the silliest, most ridiculous, and self absorbed thing I've read in a while. So much so that I suspect it's actually satire. If it's not then silicon valley sounds like another planet, in my 2+ decades of employment I've never had any sort of issues with management. If I have any questions, I ask, if I have any feedback, I give it. That clears up any ambiguity.

Then you're incredibly fortunate. I've had to deal with management issues at multiple companies in a shorter span of time.

Sure, but a README doesn't magically fix shitty management, if anything it just a justification for it.
Not to mention people are just horrifying bad at seeing themselves as others see them. I think of the scene in A Christmas Story when the kid expects to get a glowing review of his paper but instead got a D grade. It actually reminded me of a family member of mine who got called into his boss's office. He was bragging that he was going to get a bonus or promotion and instead he got a demotion due to poor performance and bad work ethic.
I've had five software jobs and five unskilled jobs.
