Comment on The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later.

I thought you dangled the carrot from a stick
I’ve seen both “carrot on a stick” meaning to offer something the other party wants to get them to do what you want with no negatives/punishment, but there is also “carrot and a stick” which means employing both positive and negative reinforcement.
