If that's the way you feel, get out FAST. It took me less than a week
in the Center to learn that most controllers are happy to berate
developmentals any chance they can get, for any reason they can come up
with (or for no reason at all).
It's life in the FAA. A thick skin is a requirement. Get used to it
or change your career goals. You will NOT be able to change the FPLs,
especially those who have been around 20 or so years.

p.s. If you act like you know it all (as you did in this thread) you
will be berated by your coworkers all the more. And washing out is a
very real probability - performance reviews are plenty subjective and
an attitude that rubs your trainer or supervisor the wrong way will
ensure failure.
