Their direct complaint is the "just get better soft skills bro" advice, but it's dismissed indirectly:
> The "soft skills" framing is wild. You're supposed to learn to communicate your way out of a structural problem. Like taking a public speaking class to fix a broken org chart.
If learning to communicate well wouldn't fix a structural problem, then communicating well wouldn't fix it either.
That’s the point, though? That you’re being gaslit by “you’re not communicating well” when no amount of good communicating would fix the underlying issue or you being dismissed?
