What is Right?

I don't understand how and when it became more appropriate to tell a whole group of people that they need to be careful about how loud they talk rather than just talking to the person.

That was the best example I could think of.
I sat in a meeting yesterday where someone was complaining about how his emails were handled by other people. Turns out I was one of the other people. I would much prefer that some talk to me about something I am doing wrong rather than using generalizations.

Is it something to do with taking accountability?

Do I really care about this?

I think that I would listen to their problem with me , and then as the conversation was closing I would offer "Please come to me directly with your issues next time. I take my job very seriously and would like to deal with any problems that you have so that we can work as effectively as possible."
