- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoIs this a justification for keeping complimentary feedback to yourself? Seems like a recipe for a continually worsening world. We gotta rise above that shit. If you have something nice to say, you should say it. Any workplace that penalizes you for that, you should leave--maybe with a parting act of sabotage.
- palata 3y ago> Any workplace that penalizes you for that, you should leave I don't think that's necessarily what the parent means. I can totally imagine that the workplace will penalize those who get less praise (because if they don't get spontaneous complimentary feedback (or less), they are probably not as good, right?). What happens for people who are less social, or more isolated (e.g. in a smaller team)? Not saying that we should not compliment coworkers. Just that it is important to think that there are ways to do it wrong ("Let's have a white board collecting the nice feedback everybody gets, so that we all enjoy it! What do you mean this creates a public ranking in the office?").
