My company didn’t believe in peer feedback, but only manager’s.
My manager used to absent-minded in almost all the places. So much, that he himself wasn’t aware of requirements.
But someone had to take the blame. And it was turned on me. I protested and got fired.
In the end, the article somehow protects individuals giving out review but I totally blame them for unfair review. As a manager it’s their responsibility to take notes and remain aware of things. This will allow them to see throw shallow goals one of them being “delivery”.
- fmajid 3y agoIn my company’s last round, the VP leading the effort (audience of engineering managers and senior ICs only) flat out stated feedback from managers doesn’t count, only from senior ICs. For engineers, at least. Unfortunately, senior ICs can play favorites and be toxic just as well as managers.
- theusus 3y agoFair, a better arrangement IMO will be review from seniors and assessment from manager.
- theusus 3y agoI would like to emphasize that VPs are capable of making statements and should be interpreted with care. By stating this, they effectively manipulate you by implying that your peers have already expressed the same opinion and thus disallow any protest.
