A shitty sandwich

Aug 3, 2021

Here’s the recipe for a feedback sandwich:

Start the conversation with a compliment. Make it specific. You want to make sure that the victim believes you are sincere (of course, you’re not).

Now it’s time for the spanking! Offload the “constructive criticism.” Low key throw in a few personal insults; you’ll cover them up in the next step.

Cover the sandwich with some other random passive-aggressive comment, as long as it sounds positive. Fake a smile.

Voilà, Now you just need to go find an idiot that will eat it.
