I wouldn't know. I take most things that people say at face-value.
I don't have the time or energy to interpret double-meanings. Say what you mean & mean what you say.
People get mad at you when you do that. Iโm actually shocked at how many do.
Yeah, they might get mad, but that's on them. If they said what they actually meant, things would go a lot smoother.
Communicate clearly instead of expecting me to do codebreaking.
Once you achieve a certain level of not giving a fuck, just repeat their statement back to then in plain language and they will usually either storm off, freeing you from the conversation, or they will get the point, freeing you from at least the tedious part of the conversation.
This is my favorite way to deal with management.
