If they were given the chance how many would be open and say what they really want to instead of what they 'have' to? 
Hell, many a time I would have LOVED to go off on people in my usual sarcastic ways but couldn't because people might take what I say personally here and judge my company based on that.
In conclusion, I never got a phonecall either though  (however Mark invited me last time I saw him and I'm not worried since I don't land in time). |
I do believe there is a huge difference in being an honest person and being an asshole. You can be honest without having to be a complete ass. I am a pretty blunt person but I don't try to set out to piss people off. You are also right that people will judge your company on what you say. So if Sleazy gets knocked around on here, he asked for it. I am pretty sarcastic as well, but there are times and places for that. He was not being sarcastic in this thread, he was being a prick.
