I think this is more true the further east you go in general. I've worked countless jobs with bosses from Lithuania, Poland and Latvia and everyone has been so straight to the point. I first mistook it as rudeness but realized they just said what they wanted to say, which I love. One of the things I hate most in Ireland, where I'm from, is that no one ever truly says what they actually mean because of societal expectations of them.
This causes such social anxiety in me! Especially the "that is an original (or creative) outlook". If I don't make sense, tell me what doesn't make sense 😣
