"If you don't like negative criticism then seriously consider another field." Um, I don't know anyone who particularly enjoys being told they suck. "If you need that kind of positive feedback from clients then this isn't the profession for you." Okay, I'm fully expecting my clients to hate my guts and tell me I'm a bumbling idiot with no right to practice, that's par for the course and I don't expect it to affect me because I will understand that it's on them. However, I expect the criticism from my supervisors to be respectful at the very least. I know negative stuff will have to come from them, but there's a difference between constructive, disrespectful, and rude.
