Uh, that’s actual the default behaviour I’ve witnessed at small and large companies I’ve worked for: complain or be critical of the shiny bright path that executives push you onto, and you’ll be branded a nuisance to suppress. Rule n.1 of survival has always been “don’t rock the boat”. The one time I felt safe enough to speak my mind without filters, I eventually paid the price for it.

Sure, my point is that it makes little sense to jump to these conclusions with so little information, especially since this is not the point of the article.

I’m amazed that I’m still talking about this :)
