minus-square@mavedustaine@lemm.eelinkfedilink41•2 years agoFor me personally, receiving a ‘just wanted to check in’ feels less aggressive than ‘when can I expect an update’ Otherwise I agree with the rest
minus-square@Sotuanduso@lemm.eelinkfedilink17•2 years agoAgreed. The former sounds like “How’s it coming?” and the latter sounds like “What’s taking so long?”
minus-squareNeuraxislinkfedilink10•2 years agoOne tip here is to remove “just” as it will come across as more confident. The use of “just” is often unnecessary and can come across as apologetic.
minus-square@Smallletter@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 years agoI don’t read it any differently with or without just. I’m not sure what you mean by apologetic or why that would be a bad thing.
minus-square@Tar_alcaran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink0•2 years agoInstead of either, I like asking if they have any further questions.
