[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Damn them with faint praise: "Larla worked for us for a few months this summer. When she was here, DD enjoyed her company." I would read between these lines that you were perfectly content to see her go.[/quote] It is so easy to be clear without being explicitly negative, if the other person is actually listening. Pause, deliberately wait to find the right word to answer the question. Answer the question precisely as it is asked and offer no further information. Decline to answer any specific questions that would force you to say something negative. Seriously, just the care with which you chose your words -- if obvious -- is more than enough.[/quote]
