First, if you ever said that to your boss you should definitely be fired.
Second, that's operational information, not performance feedback.
Third, it's not your prerogative to tell your boss what he's good or bad at. They give you the review, not the other way around.
- jestar_jokin 8y agoRight, because managers never need feedback on how well they're managing their staff...?! Some shops have "360 degree reviews", where you need to get reviews from your colleagues and people you serve (or to use an ungenerous phrase, your underlings), not just your boss.
- amarkov 8y agoSurely you understand how it creates bad incentives, if feedback about individual productivity can be delivered bluntly but feedback about prioritization can't be given at all.
- mythrwy 8y agoIf it's about who's the boss rather than the project being the boss the project is fucked and then so is the boss. Good bosses know this and like honesty. Bad bosses fire people for stating the truth and wind up with shit. However I will agree that saying "You suck at.." is pretty bad, and it would be equally bad coming from a boss.
