Because you open the communication with a lie.
- koliber 3y agoSuch communication style can work well, but only if it is genuine. When people do mess up, there is often something good in the mix. It’s possible to lead with a compliment to point out what was done well, and follow up with constructive criticism. It’s about style. When done well, you don’t notice it and you like it. If done awkwardly or stiffly, it feels fake, patronizing, and disingenuous.
- qwytw 3y agoThe shit sandwich approach... But yeah if you're a person who's only capable of complaining and criticizing others (assuming it's perfectly legitimate/reasonable) you might struggle communicating with most people who don't know you really well/are used to different culture.

- gretch 3y agoWell, only if it is a lie. The example is a hypothetical story so we can read into it whatever we want. There are ways to like someone’s work, even if you don’t think it’s complete or optimal. For example, I think a huge part of getting a job done is just having someone take initiative and at least try, as opposed to waiting for someone else to start them off. The line might mean “I’m glad you started us down this road…”
