Yah. I am not sure about that guy - I heard that story from a relative who is HR director for a medium-size company. Although team sports these days is contributing to the trend of lavish compliments and participation trophies. The education system in America has gulped down the Kool-Aid to the point educators cannot label an incorrect answer "wrong" because it might hurt the student's feelings then they won't learn anymore. Geesh.
Other countries don't seem to have such fragile children - they criticize students severely and you know what? When America wants STEM professionals, we go to those countries to hire their college graduates with H-1B visas because our college graduates aren't as prepared as they are.
I see. So, you're sayin American companies hire foreign engineers, in part, because they are more resilient and can handle negative feedback. That makes sense. To be a good engineer requires experience and that includes making mistakes _and learning from them_. Anyone who pouts when their mistakes are pointed out won't become a good engineer.
Good engineering saves lives.
The driverless cars they design drive on our roads. We may use the cell phones they design in our emergencies.

It's interesting that we are more honest on performance requirements and criticism of H-1B folks than on our own people.
Our family has the principal that the truth may hurt but it's the truth none the less. So far even the grandchildren get it and understand.
