Re: Problems with overbearing mentors
When mentors aren't acting the role of "mentor" and when they aren't being a good role model you need to question if they should be there.
I have nothing against your mentors, I don't know them and I don't want to condemn them but I can relate to this when I took a drive safety class.
When I took master drive my original drive instructor showed a lot of enthusiasm, she was a wonderful person and she taught me a lot. When I had to switch to a different drive instructor all of a sudden I kept getting called out on things and that is the point when we discovered what my old drive instructor taught me, wasn't actually what she was supposed to be teaching me. I had to "unlearn" all the stuff she taught me because it was often hazardous behavior, so while mentors are valuable you need to make sure that what they bring to the team is constructive, and not drama.
Shout out to handling it like a pro though approaching adults and telling them to stop is intimidating for me.
Cheers
