However I do agree with you that criticism isn't the same as constant negativity - you can be positive and still criticise someone on how they do their job. For example: "Hey, you've been quite inactive lately. You did a hell of a good job before though, so could you perhaps tell us why you're inactive?"

It's positive, but still criticising - it rewards them for the good things they've done but does adress the issue at hand and makes the other know about it.

However, don't forget that Anna did actually receive 3 official warnings. As far as I'm aware, they had shown such positivity plenty of times (unless I'm wrong) and at some point you simply have to draw a line. Anna believes that that line did not need to be drawn yet, which is entirely her own opinion and fine, but there are others out there that seemingly disagree and believe that the line has been drawn where it should have been.

And there's not really a wrong answer, either. It's more of what you personally believe is the right thing to do. So stop arguing and let's do something positive with our lives, capiche?

Or am i not realizing that suddenly you need 1 person to say the bad stuff, and another to say the good stuff... I see admins on SSRP complimenting each other and helping each other in that assistance more, which is 1 reason as of, why the admin team tend to be close.[/quote] Whenever I give feedback I give them what they need to improve on and what they're doing good on idk where this complimenting stuff came from to begin with, I did better getting criticism instead of compliments.[/quote][/spoiler] just because it helped YOU, doesn't mean it helps others, everyone is different, some people can't take a lot of it. just because it helped you improve doesn't mean that it will help others improve as well, stressed out people don't tend to improve when they are pointed out what they do wrong, they want to hear what they do good, that keeps them from getting too stressed and will improve their overall performance with their staff duties[/quote] Criticism is good for everyone, even if it makes them feel bad.
