The eye rolling is often justified. The value of something like NVC is having an entire framework for managing relationships (and it is a fantastic framework, havn't seen a better one yet).
However a lot of vocal people are happy to take the words and not join the pieces together properly. There are a lot of mistakes in interpreting NVC that quickly lead to eye-roll-worthy corporate inductions. The nuance is critical and complicated.
Eg, I'd assume an average person trying to talk about NVC either thinks:
1) Thinks it is a tool to use after someone else is already upset.
2) Hasn't understood it and thinks that the point is to appease someone who is angry by not being aggressive.
