We're not talking here about being overly critical in a code review, or even criticizing someone who pushed bugs to prod. This is someone who intentionally violated company policy in a way that harms everyone who works there. It is not business as usual. Getting mad about this sort of thing is like getting mad about somebody keying your car or spreading false rumors about you: entirely reasonable and justified and not an interaction where professionalism is expected.


I disagree.

The lack of professionalism, in this example, is the menacing email.

Of course there are rules to follow when working for a company, and some degree of loyalty is naturally expected.

But this kind of email is completely unwarranted, there is no need for this tone.
