Some people can't handle the truth.
She went a bit far towards the end, but I'd rather have someone be straight with me than blow smoke up my rear.
I had a boss that gave a speech like that once, with a few more expletives. He wasn't angry with the people who worked for him but rather those above him who had put us in a near impossible position. About 1/3 of the team checked out after the meeting, the other 2/3s got it done. You learn who you want to be in a foxhole with when things get tough.
