Many of these statements come off as being passive aggressive, but to the authors credit, sometimes you don’t have much else to respond back with, or just don’t engage at all, which can cause its own issues.
What made me chuckle a bit is how real these situations were on a daily basis at Amazon, and how I’d write an email or Chime message only to rewrite it and discard it… “hmm, how do I respond without being passive aggressive? How do I keep my mental sanity?”
- mattcwilson 4y agoI disagree - I think it’s possible to respond to each of these situations with a clear, kind, and direct response. I think the underlying issue is more that, yes, if you’re already feeling like saying any of the original messages, communication and understanding is probably already damaged. Which makes it a higher degree of difficulty challenge to put things back on better footing. Good communication definitely takes practice. Maintaining positive intent and respecting the other person’s humanity and feelings is vital.
