Every time you heard, “Hey, good job out there…” You knew the “But” was coming, so it was impossible to get any positivity from the good part, because it just became an omen for impending criticism.
So, that’s not the fault of the shit sandwich per se, that’s the fault of a shitty manager that only talks to you when they have something bad to say. Someone that only employs sticks when the carrot-and-stick method is much smarter overall.

I had a manager who made shit sandwiches daily.

I won’t disagree with that. I was just pointing out how the Shit Sandwich can fail miserably.
