My realization after our internal chat started censoring workflow critiques
So, I was going through our company's Slack channel yesterday, and I saw that a bunch of messages from my coworker about the new inventory process were just gone. It hit me that the automated filters they set up to keep things 'positive' are basically censoring any real discussion about problems. It's like we're dealing with our own mini version of the content moderation wars you see on social media, but it's affecting how we actually get work done. Makes you wonder where the line is between keeping a professional space and allowing people to speak up about issues.

Actually I read a Harvard piece on how that backfires.

That Harvard study on timeout methods came out last year. But does it really backfire for most families? My sister used timeouts with her kids and they're doing great in school. Studies often look at extreme cases, not normal life. So I'm not sure it's as serious as they say.

Seriously, this is exactly what happens with every study that comes out. They grab one angle and blow it up, ignoring how normal people actually live. You see it with parenting advice, diet tips, all of it. Someone reads a headline and suddenly their way is wrong. But real life isn't a lab, it's messy and different for everyone. So yeah, timeouts might backfire in some cases, but that doesn't mean they're bad for every family.
