Why? It's a great delivery. It may sound harsh only to our truth-allergic world of big corps.

Eh you can say as much in a more delicate way – deliver every one of those points. I’m not going to feel bad for thinking we can all be nicer to each other.

  Niceness does nothing but waste emotional energy to please another. There's no reason for it, except personal preference.

I fail to see the connection to the "big corps" here, nor being allergic to the truth. This is about being nicer, as a human being. Becoming more empathetic towards a person who is showing their product for the world to see for the first time. Of course it may have perceived flaws. Do you choose to beat the person for doing it that way, or do you want to offer gentle advice in order to help them? The motive behind the comment is hidden in its delivery. You can say your truth, all of it - but you can say it in a nice way or in a shitty way. How you say it will define you.

  >The motive behind the comment is hidden in its delivery. This is exactly why there is blowback to the suggestion that GGP was not being nice enough. It comes across as a desire to obscure the motive of that comment.

  really? at big corp people talk behind each other’s backs about how shitty each other are or another team is but never confront people directly until shit has hit the fan and someone is going on a permanent vacation

    I get what you're saying, but being deceitful / being nonconfrontational / sugarcoating stuff is a completely different matter. You can be direct, while being nice. It seems a lot of people think that if you have to confront someone or tell the truth, you can't be nice. That is pretty sad. You can be nice, and you can tell people what you really think. It is 100% possible. It is about how you word it. It is about putting in some effort to take care of others' feelings. I.e. being caring and empathetic.
