That's fair, but that's not how the author presented this request from their manager. Judging from the stories shared, people seemed to believe that they were being asked to share stories from their personal lives.

It doesn't really matter what the manager intended; if they were primarily looking for vulnerable professional moments, they should have said so. And if they were indeed looking for personal stories, that's inappropriate.

Oh, I realize there's a misunderstanding somewhere, and likely the manager's fault more than anything.

I imagine at some leadership training, they were probably encouraged to get their direct reports to open up and misunderstood the scope of that.
