I've used different sites in the network and have found their communities to feel quite different.

* Stack Overflow can feel overwhelmed with the number of questions (especially bad ones) being asked but does seem to be willing to help.
* Code Review I have always felt to be very welcoming and friendly.

But at times I have found The Workplace to be quite unhelpful and unsympathetic, e.g. answers alone the lines of *"Do exactly as you are told"* or *"That's none of your concern"*.

While I do appreciate that there are a lot of questions that are poorly written or off topic *and* that the people who ask them **never** read the help, all the sites on the network have the same problem. 

What is your impression of The Workplace?
