This doesn't mean that you can't give negative feedback. But, I tend to make suggestions/requests rather than calling someone out.
replyIf you're a manager, part of the job is telling someone that they aren't meeting standard, and that's how I would phrase it. Tell them what the expectation is and ask them to work on meeting it.
Scolding, calling out, or even yelling at people should be consigned to the past. It's unnecessary and counterproductive.
To be fair this mostly happens on my OSS repos where I'm bombarded by junk AI PRs by people who never bother to actually read and talk like a human. So I scold them, block them and close everything they open.
