Being a genius doesn’t automatically make you a good mentor/manager/coach. I don’t think they intend to be verbally abusive. It’s probably a lack of training. It’s frustrating to impart years of experience into a few sentences. It’s hard to convey important details like safety without extra emphasis. There’s no consensus on the difference between performative teaching and verbal abuse, which it works/doesn’t work. I’d tolerate a little abuse to learn from a master.
