Don't get stuck in the either/or scenario. It's possible to be direct AND kind without being an asshole. Not giving someone critical feedback isn't kind, it's just being a coward. Giving someone critical feedback without regard to the human receiving it, is just lazy.
Last place I worked I was direct AND kind towards my team about a data leak related to PHI and they chose to sweep it under the rug and never addressed it while I was there. I think I should have been a bigger asshole. Some ORGs just can't deal with negative outcomes in a positive way.
If they don't care about a PHI leak it wouldn't matter how you presented it
Were you laid off? If so, the results suit them well, you didn't even need to be an asshole for their benefit.
Edit: sorry, my intention was to "diss" them, not you.
Not sure if you are dissing me or what. But, no I left for this reason and quite a few others. Healthcare IT is a cesspool of incompetence and grift.
