Different strokes I guess. I personally appreciate the straight forward approach to this style versus the normal corporate environment.

  You can be straight forward without being crass, rude, or aggressive. That’s a desirable professional skill.

    I think much like the author’s writing it’s a very polarizing thing, and it either clicks with people or doesn’t. For those that it doesn’t I can understand the viewpoint that it’s extremely negative. I disagree that it’s inherently rude or aggressive. You can absolutely tell someone they’re a moron in a very polite and joking way, but it clearly won’t translate into writing very well. As for crass, yeah definitely ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯

    Or you can judge how to approach each interaction individually instead of applying a global veneer of fake pleasantness that the US work culture labels as "being professional".

      >US work culture labels as "being professional". You guys realize this person wrote a blog post about not being able to find a job, right? "This toxic personality is so refreshing? But why can't he find a job?" What a mystery.
