Good story. What does it have to do with the linked article, which is about how women and people of color disproportionately receive personality-based feedback?

It has to do with the title of this thread though.

So perhaps this is an indication that the title should be updated to more accurately reflect the original one. (Not everyone reads the linked articles.)

> Women are … 11 times more likely to report being labeled as abrasive

> Specific and constructive feedback about someone’s work performance offers them more opportunities to grow.

If “abrasive“ is not constructive and the person is at risk of losing her job because she is abrasive, are you suggesting she not be told she is abrasive?
