  It works the first couple of times the receiver gets feedback that way. In their entire lives.

  I’ve realized that what the article says applies to me – it can be hard to receive positive feedback when you’re anticipating the upcoming “constructive feedback”.

  And then you’re left wondering how hard it was for them to come up with the positive stuff. Is the positive stuff all fake just for the purposes of wrapping the “constructive” part?

    Frankly, it’s always seemed to me like a polishing of the turd inherent to “Nothing matters before the ‘but’.” It’s exactly that old bullshit, plus another pandering half-thought at the end. The shit sandwich is the fastest way to lose my interest, much less respect. 🤌🏼
