The person who wants a different result needs to help describe it.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Dissatisfaction on its own is not usable information. Saying that something is not right, not quite there, not what was wanted, leaves the other person guessing at a target only you can see, and they will usually guess wrong twice before giving up. Describing what good would look like is harder than reacting, which is why it often gets skipped. But the person asking for the change owns that harder half.
