Cheers, thanks for taking the time to help out! I much apreciate it.
This gives me a bit of prespective, and it's something that's always on the back of my mind. Though I always give people a couple of chances before going to that extreme. Always hard to deal with this stuff innit?
I can understand that it might be hard but I'm always frank (trying not to be blunt, lol) ... a good junior is eager to hear the truth coz they wanna improve ... you don't need to be harsh or mean but no need to sugarcoat it TOO much, just tell it like it is, and a good junior will even appreciate it - coz they wanna improve ... I mean, if nobody's telling them things just the way they are, then how can they improve?
Haha okay ... well you hit the nail on the head - it should be CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, it should not be about putting someone down or denigrating them, it's only about the work they've done and what they've produced - with the explicit goal for them to learn and improve.

That's exactly what they told me when I asked them what inhu adviced, asking them how they prefer to receive constructive criticism.
It's the same case as, how will I know if I snore if nobody tells me. Or that my breath smells like crap if nobody says so!
Thanks again!

That's it, the goal is to learn and improve! And that they know that's the goal too!
