There are times when you run into people in your workplace that truly believe they are "helping you." When in reality all they're doing is trying to force THEIR way of accomplishing things down your throat and then finish the tirade with "but you can do it your way too." Really? Is that possible now that you've taken so much time to prove that any way other than yours way is CLEARLY wrong? Why is it that people feel the need to correct and fix whatever you do in the name of "helping." It doesn't really help anything if you weren't wrong in the first place. People often feel the need to correct instead of teach. Suggesting a different way of doing things instead of saying "I would never do it THAT way," can change the attitude of a department in a heartbeat.
Strange to think that the words you speak can either build or destroy. And they can either build or destroy depending on the day the recipient is having, or the day you're having. Sure, it's not the BEST feeling in the world to be torn down in front of 8 other people and even your boss won't stick up for you, but perhaps it was a learning experience that won't make sense till you're well on your way to retirement.
It's tough to deal with when you're in it. But YHWH always has a reason for these moments. Even if they aren't clear to you in the moment, His hand is always there to guide and protect.
