In this episode, I explore the common workplace phrase “Don’t make me say the same thing twice” and what it reveals about work culture. I discuss how this mindset often prioritizes speed and immediate understanding over patience, training, and long-term employee development. Not everyone learns at the same pace, and pressure to understand instructions instantly can reduce confidence and increase mistakes. I also examine how this phrase can sometimes shift responsibility away from those giving instructions. Finally, I reflect on how independent work environments allow people to learn at their own pace. This episode is about communication, learning differences, and how workplace culture shapes employee confidence and performance.
