At CNBC on December 18, 2022 there is an article by John Bowe titled Avoid these 5 passive-aggressive phrases that ‘make people respect you less': Public speaking expert. He says they are as follows (and then helpfully suggests what to say instead):
“ 1] Just a friendly reminder…
2] Don’t take this the wrong way, but…
3] Got it.
4] Hey, how are we doing with that task I’m waiting for?
5] If that’s what you want to do…”
In comments after John posted at LinkedIn there were also mentions of:
“With all due respect…
If I understood you correctly…
No offense…
If I’m not mistaken…”
