I had read a couple of books both of which said the sandwich technique is an out-of-date way of delivering bad news and it&#x27;s significantly better to do it immediately to help not continue to build up to the bad news that the person on the other side knows it coming (because, let&#x27;s face it, the sandwich is obvious from 100ft away).<p>Unfortunately I can&#x27;t figure out what books I read and I&#x27;m having a hard time finding studies (just keep finding damn buzzfeed like article about using the sandwich). If someone else finds these sources or debunks them I would be greatly appreciated :)
