I worked for the same company as Denise and yes, I had that kind of trust in my management. I have received at times quite blunt feedback, but it has never to my knowledge put me at threat of losing my job. I have at other times been left feeling cynical, hurt or angry, but expressing those feelings has never put me at threat of losing my job.
It's doable. It's just hard and takes a lot of time, a lot of patience and willingness to improve in small steps.
- z6 6y agoI would say losing your job is at the extreme end. There are many ways it could have impacted you without you even knowing. Obvious ones are missing out on promotions, getting a lower raise, bonus, etc. I think it's incredibly naive to think there would be no impact.

- MattGaiser 6y ago> I had that kind of trust in my management. That's impressive. Would you consider yourself the trusting type?
- jacques_chester 6y agoIt depends on the situation.
