Am I the only one who thinks lying to spare feelings at work is way worse than just being blunt?
Two coworkers and I had to review each other's projects for a client in Denver. One guy gave me soft feedback like 'maybe consider rethinking the color' and I spent a whole weekend fixing something that wasn't even broken. The other one just said 'this section is confusing, cut it' and I fixed it in 20 minutes. Six months later, the nice guy's project got torn apart by the client and he had no idea why. I would much rather hear 'this sucks' than waste my time guessing what you really mean. Why do people think being nice is the same as being helpful?

Used to think nice was always better until a boss told me my work sucked and saved me weeks.
