No man loves the bearer of bad tidings.
None love the messenger who brings bad news.
Don't blame the messenger because the message is unpleasant.
Deliver bad news early and personally.
We're broke. It's never a fun message to deliver.
Why do I always have to be the one to bring the bad news to the people?
I regret having been the bearer of ambiguous tidings.
Nobody likes the man who brings bad news.
