T-Rex: The praise sandwich is when you give feedback to someone by saying a good thing, then the criticism, then another good thing! It softens the blow for sensitive souls who can't deal with anything negative.

T-Rex: LIKE MYSELF

T-Rex: But it's not the ONLY way of delivering criticism! For example, there's the open-faced praise sandwich: criticism, then compliment.
Dromiceiomimus: And the "oops, all compliments!" praise TOAST sandwich: compliments, toasted compliments, then more compliments.
T-Rex: A CLASSIC!!

Utahraptor: Not to mention the submarine praise party sandwich! That's enough praise and criticism to satisfy up to 12 people.

Utahraptor: Yes, it appears your idea of mapping sandwich construction techniques onto communication strategies, which is bad, but charming, adds complexity without necessarily illuminating the reason WHY we'd want to use it, but is also fun and I'm glad to toy with it... is all those things I just said.

T-Rex: GASP! Praise and criticism mixed together in one dynamic construction?!
