re: What professions are typically most sensitive to criticism of their work?

Influencers

Teachers are the absolute worst. They bitch and moan about the parents, the little shitass kids, the principal, the other teachers, and the superintendent. But they know every fricking thing, and they go out of their way to make you feel stupid.

Nurses bitch about patients, other nurses, doctors, and what they’re having for lunch. They never have time to talk or chill out. They always work and sleep during the times all the fun stuff is going on. Unless they’re cheating. They always cheat.

Cops - take no criticism and if you do their supervisor, or all the blue line folks line up against you right on up to the sheriff or police chief. Half the time it’s just their ego. The other half is this wonderful POST training they get. The reality is they are scared and just want to go home to their family so they won’t listen to anything someone has to say. But most folks lie to them. So I put em 3rd.

Football Coaches - they are stubborn and refuse to think they are wrong. And when questioned, they’ll double down on stupid ( I mean stubborness) and do stupid shite like lie to the fans and tell them how much more improved their team is, or how they’ll beat the heck out of the team that hung 21 points on them. They’ll make you think their QB will win a Heisman when on all actuality he wouldn’t start at ULM given the chance. But the first sign of criticism he’ll get in your face and force his point on you by playing the wrong players in the wrong positions.

Carpenters - they round us out. They think everyone else is stupid because they know little tricks to cut boards and make them fit together. But hey the minute you question why the HVAC unit is framed up in the middle of the master bedroom, they’ll just start packing their tools and calling you a stupid sob in your own house. Need a room added on? Don’t call a carpenter, they’ll make you pay for the last house’s lumber bill, then get a draw to order you some lumber, then build some stuff and take some of that lumber to another job site while sticking you with another lumber bill. Oh and don’t criticize them either, they’ll just stop with it raining in your house while you have to hire another over priced Cheatin arse carpenter. And they’ll steal your beer. Just learn how to build shite yourself and don’t waste your time with those prima donnas.

School administrators. I’m a teacher and I will fully admit that a lot of teachers complain, some of it is legit and some is not. However, if you’re a teacher and you can’t handle criticism, you’re in the wrong field. I have 130 students this year, I will be criticized all the time.

Administration though can’t handle it when you call them out when they mess up. They get very defensive and offended that you would ever question them. Most of them were in the classroom only briefly and weren’t very good to begin with, our last principal was like this. They believe they’re the authority on everything and possess infinite knowledge and you better never second guess them.
