How do you respond to unwanted advice?

from a, a coworker and b, a manager.

Polite: “Thanks.”

Less polite: “Thank you for your feedback.”

My fave: “UNSUBSCRIBE”

All work best when voiced audibly.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

That's certainly an advisable way to look at it.

Depends how good the advice is.

I generally listen and compare it to what I do.

If it's useless, I silently feel smug and superior. If there's something good, then I try to take it onboard.

One of:

  • Thank you and if good learn somthing. Asquestions.

  • I know, if I know this.

  • I do not want to hear it, if it is repetative garbage.

First you should ask yourself why you would not want advice.

Which results in: a) accept and implement advice OR b) prove the advice wrong
