The core issue is that some people become completely flustered when confronted with guile. This happens in both business and personal, intimate situations.
Guile is not always malicious. It's a normal part of some activities like negotiation.
So in instead of "Would you like to" more like "I have a situation that you'd be perfect to handle if you can pull yourself away from what you're doing for a few hours".
- selimthegrim 7y agoHere’s a real life example from grad school: Professor (who has already landed a position at another school and is negotiating a faculty position for his wife): “You’re going to have to work much harder than you have at any point up until now” Me (tired of the hot and cold and turning to face him): Ok, we’re going to be taking this one week at a time here, alright? Third professor in the room of Russian origin who is a co-advisor: ??? Unstated messages: Him: I’m checked out. Fuck this. Me: I gathered. Fuck you. Russian origin prof: WTF?
