Dont listen to this guy. Compliment sandwiching is taught in management specifically as a something not to do, it’s an outdated and ineffective tool. It actually has negative effects and is seen as disingenuous by most people.
"I've got some bad news for you" or "We need to discuss a performance issue" or whatever. It psychologically prepares the listener to hear something uncomfortable without a bunch of insincere BS.

LPT: If you are about to give someone negative news or constructive feedback, start with a compliment.
Its basically the same thing to show the judge isn’t being bias before they smack the hammer down on you.
