4 weeks agoThe hidden career cost of being too agreeable
Across history, human moral systems have shared a curious pattern: the stricter the rulebook, the richer the archive of exceptions.

Most passive-aggressive comments rely on plausible deniability. When you ask for clarification, you're essentially calling their bluff. The beauty of this phrase is that it's completely neutral because you're just asking a question.
