Unfortunately, all of these situations require more grace than what you might be comfortable giving, especially if its bad news. So instead of cutting to the chase, you have to say it in a comfortable way.

Think About It. You'll Get It.

The world is opening back up. Old habits need to be reinstated if we're to return to a civilized society.

In short, don't cuss out your boss just because he took the last doughnut from the lounge. Keep that kind of language at home. Find a more respectable way to tell them where they can stick that pastry.
