The AE in my office was having what I consider a super mean conversation with one of his team members about a junior sales rep and how terrible he is at speaking. I don't understand how making mean comments about someone in the team helps anyone, in any way. They should either be trained or fired. And more importantly, shouldn't the workplace feel like a place you can learn? Does yours feel like an environment where you feel safe to fail?

I 100% feel like it is a place to grow. I get growth feedback every second of the day…from those less skilled even …

Love that for you

People tend to overly share or vent and that sometimes crosses the line into “mean comments”. Sadly just by being senior in title or comp does mean they have grown in empathy or leadership.

Not really. We are pretty harshly treated when things don't go in the way management wants and I feel constantly afraid that I'll lose my job if I ever mess up. Work stopped feeling like a place to grow a long time ago.

Maybe they should have tried being better at speaking?
