Please let me rephrase - do you tend to believe an employee at face value if they have an ax to grind towards their boss?

One always has a slanted view of one's reality, to a varying extent. So what? Do you actually inted to get information only from people who are the paragons of objectivity? Good luck with that.

You once argued that we cant take the word of soldiers on the front line because they cant be objective. Interesting reversal of positions.

This is kind of a stupid argument. I guess that I am just very skeptical in general. I just think ex employees in general are not very credible sources and I think they are even less credible when they have appear to have other motives. That is all.

Now, if an employee speaks out at great detriment to that employee then I tend to give them a tremendous amount of credit.

Please dont think that I do this only when I disagree with a position. I was arguing on a different forum about something very important to me and there was a study published that strongly supported my views. However, I refused to quote it because the source publishing it seemed very slanted even if the report itself seemed legit. There just needs to be a very high standard for data.
