all criticism should serve a business purpose

That's an awfully narrow purpose for giving criticism; not all of life takes place at the office. (I actually get what you're saying, but a slip of the tongue like that in different company, say with a significant other or a child, can leave you looking like a cold and uncaring bastard. Just a friendly heads-up ;-)




10-4. Hopefully clearly meant in the context of startup culture. Just feel there should be a clear separation between biz and personal issues criticism in the work environment.

Save the "why don't you ever do the dishes? Is it because you don't care about me?" critiques for the significant others. :-)
