I've worked on a team where that view was adopted, and really tried to cope. I don't miss that, at all.

After reading a round of feedback, I frequently had to make a pause, 30 minutes minimum. I tried to control my will to respond at the same tone, not always managing to hold the impulse. There was a lot of rumination and resentment too, not only on my part, but on the rest of the team's. Such a huge waste of mental energy.

Pretending that people is supposed to behave like a robot, dismissing their emotions etc, IMO is a mistake and, sometimes, an excuse used by people who feel good treating others badly.
