Perhaps the hardest part about managing people is a non trivial percentage of them will dump their personal problems on you and it can be overwhelming. It's hard to generate instant empathy on demand when everything that comes at you is someone's crisis.

Maybe the boss in this site could have been more diplomatic but I see it from his perspective and I can appreciate the need to try and push it away.

Sometimes I wonder if tech folks in particular are prone to being snowflakes.
