Even that is not helpful to the recipient of the feedback.
How about:
"Here is a list of standards every code check-in is required to meet. Here are the standards that your current P/R fails. Try again. Do you need help with anything specific? When can you have a new P/R ready?."
If applicable: "This delays the schedule, what is your recovery plan?:
And occasionally: "At your pay grade, you are expected to know these standards."
- tbrake 8y agoI find this kind of dispassionate feedback both condescending and nauseating tbqh. A few f-bombs let me know you care.
- dbcurtis 8y agoDispassionate? Let me tell you, if you have ever had an ex-commando officer from the Israeli Defense Force as a boss, you will know with every fiber of your being that those words can be delivered with passion. A passion that leaves no doubt in your mind that "What is your recovery plan?" is not a soft-ball question, and that a soft-ball answer will be promptly discarded. In my case, said boss took part in Operation Entebbe. He ran a very low-BS engineering organization. It was refreshing in a very good way.
