That's a pretty bad definition of jaded:

"made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something" [1]

I would say that someone who feels that it's commonplace for managers to refuse to allow new employees to schedule 30 minutes with other members of their team while on-boarding would fit the definition of being overly cynical.

Not to be nitpicking, but I said 'there are circumstances' which is not the same as 'it's commonplace' (it's actually implying edge cases).

That said, thanks for a better definition of 'jaded' even if not applicable! :-)
