You don't need to be passive agressive either, you can just be polite and factual.

[-] crackajack@reddthat.com 10 points 11 months ago

Well put. My boss had been polite and factual when she gets "angry".

[-] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

Exactly. I've worked under terrible managers and some great ones. Great ones get pissed off but they never, ever try and let emotions out. They were all to the point and knew what worked for every guy.

Is she impolite when she is not angry?

[-] crackajack@reddthat.com 6 points 11 months ago

No, not at all. I appreciate that of her. She doesn't even look scary when I'm being told off. Which is why I put the word angry in quotation marks. She tries to sound angry and look scary but we kind of brush it off. Not that I didn't respect her authority.

But don't be too factual or you will be Linus

  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
