Are UK civil servants being precious

The UK Deputy PM, Dominic Raab, resigned because it was found his behaviour towards civil servants was bullying.

I have read the report and have to say that what they regard as bullying in the UK would probably just be regarded as robust feedback from a Minister in New Zealand. It seems his crimes were:

• Described some work as “utterly useless” and “woeful”.
• Once raised the issue of whether some civil servants were complying with the Civil Service Code
• Expressed frustration to officials in a meeting about the quality of their work, without the Permanent Secretary being present
• He complained in a meeting that basic information was not being provided
• He once referred to a team within a Ministry as obstructive

I would like to have seen those UK officials work for Sir Robert Muldoon – after that, everyone else would be easy!
