“Do the needful” and “kindly revert back with the same” still in use 🤔

It’s well established that these phrases lead to negative perception of the people who use them. They’re associated (whether justified or not) with incompetence and certain racist undertones. Why are they still widely in use among Indian English speakers? You’d think people would learn to stop using phrases that they know won’t get a positive reaction to avoid reactions that aren’t related to the task at hand. Or maybe they really just don’t know...

Are you pressurizing me into conforming?

Let's stop it with "very less" while we're at it.

I can guarantee it isn't the "revert" and "needful" portions that are associated with incompetence, lol. Grammar is, generally speaking, a very weak point in the field of IT. Which is so ironic....

All I had to read was “do the needful” and knew this was Amazon! 😂

Some very successful people use these phrases. Just sayin

Is do the needful that bad? I use it when I want to avoid telling the other party how to do their job and getting held liable when they do it wrong
