A Circular Argument
Managers need to be a bit thicker skinned.They get paid the bucks and make decisions which affect the lives of many others.They are open to criticsm just like those below them are.Just because someone has a go a go at their competence and ethics is no biggy.Punsihing those individuals who speak out is not going to silence the criticism.In many cases the criticism will become stronger.Most managers will ignore crticism.Water off a ducks back.Those who arent competent usually react subjectively.A good manager will always be objective and either ignore the jibes or take them onboard and change their managment style.
Either way life is divided into three groups~those that criticize and those that are criticized.Most of us fall into the third category.We are both critical and criticized.Its a human thing.No one accepts everything as being gospel.
In the aviation industry its how we innovate and move forward .Companies that stifle criticism languish because the bright people fear retribution and move elsewhere.An Australian Aviation Icon is languishing and losing talent rapidly.The punitive toxic culture has become a pandemic.
The internet is the only place left to vent.Everyone.Yes everyone needs to vent at some stage in their working lives.
I would like to be fly on the wall listening to the PPrune miderators vent when they readsome of the stuff posted here.
Oh and BTW mods I dont mind criticsm.Its how I improve.Making mistakes is the other way I improve
