- sushid 7y agoGross, is this actually a technique taught in management? Seems disingenuous and sounds like something a really bad manager would do.
- The_rationalist 7y agoIt can actually be an effective method if the employee isn't able to listen to factual criticism.

- 7thaccount 7y agoYes, just had it taught to my management class where we universally agreed that it felt fake and unnatural.
- tempestn 7y agoI think it depends on how well it's done. Yeah, if you just transparently sandwich the criticism, it'll come off as a stupid management technique. But if you figure out how to do it genuinely, it can help.
- Blake_Emigro 7y agoIt's been taught / used for a long time in North America, I can't speak for other parts of the world. It reminds me of the, "it's not you, it's me", break-up technique, but maybe I just watched too much Seinfeld.
- api_or_ipa 7y agoIt's taught in even the most basic teaching curriculum. I learned about it as a teenager learning to teach swimming. To be honest, it's nothing new or special, and I mean, I don't know where you're coming at with the snarky comment about management, but humans are human and sometimes _how you say something_ matters as much as _what you say_. Nobody likes taking criticism, so it helps blunt the blow, while still allowing for critical feedback to be communicated and heard.
