Be kind.

I agree that my run through of the article seemed to point to problems more than solutions, but I have always felt that the old chestnut 'don't bring me problems, bring me solutions' was a bit shortsighted.

Yes, it would be nice if every problem had a solution provided in a gift wrapped box. Yet, it is dangerous to pretend that problems do not exist simply because we do not know how to solve it.

Now, how to do this without become overwhelmed and despondent in the face of these problems is another issue.

Ive created account only to say "thank you" for writing this article. Thought im just projecting issues that dont really exist because of not so long ride in this bus (just promoted to senior)...

At first i tried to tackle those issues but it seems that nobody cares or doesnt want to accept that we have such issues in the first place. Im just happy others see those issues too and try to solve them at least by rising awerness.

Im also sure that if i tried to bring this article to discussion i would be fired next day because of "playing primadonna" one of our managers use to say...
