At my job in SF, there was a guy from east coast - I want to say Boston but it's been a minute. We talked about how the further west you get, the less people can handle directness, and the more careful you have to be about how you put things. He said, "back there, you can be in an 11 AM meeting yelling at each other and saying 'you're full of shit'" and the meeting ends and you all just go to lunch together."
I was at an open mic and a comic referred to a black man as “midnight” and he was baffled why the host pulled him aside and told him don’t talk like that. Literally no one cared, especially the black man who laughed the loudest. I told him pay it no mind, talk how you talk. That’s reality.
Yes, exactly. I've encountered this and don't think that it would be rude and abrasive in a meeting...this is how many people interact with each other.
