Employee publicly blames boss for company's major network outage, boss refuses to accept the criticism, leading employee to pack up their office: ‘I went into full defense mode’

What is it about bosses and their inability to accept criticism? We are all humans, and we all make mistakes. Yet for some reason, being told that by someone who is in a 'lesser' position is considered insulting, and if you ask me, that is plain counterproductive.

Finding a way to criticise your manager without actually losing your job is not an easy task. In fact, it is a task that many employees would do their best they can to avoid. Even if they know for a fact that their boss or the management is doing something wrong, confronting them about it would only be their very last resort.

In some cases, usually when employees are being forced to take the blame for their bosses' mistakes, the situation reaches a boiling point. A point at which employees feel like they have no other choice other than to speak up, and they can only hope that this decision will not lead to them losing their jobs.

That is what the employee in the story found themselves dealing with, after they finally lost it in front of their boss (and the rest of the team, oops).
