  Honestly, I know what the intention was, but the first makes me feel manipulated and angry right away, as it implies I want to prevent anything and that there is a future. It’s so unnatural and loaded.

    I think this example is used in the context that something preventable happened. You’re more likely to get a better response if asking in the former than the latter.

      The first is problem solving, the second is blaming.

      The first is phrased in a way that is condescending for an adult.

        I didn’t think I agree that it’s condescending. To me it’s just your cause analysis. If I had people reporting to me, and someone fucked up, I would want to know how we’re going to prevent it from happening again. To me it’s just cutting to the chase and problem solving.

    That sounds like more of a personal hangup than standard fact for anyone.
