Two reasons:
* it depends if the "other engineers" are on the same team or not. If they're a different team, it's not so much a manager responsibility.
* in tech, it helps to already be doing the next job level up to get promoted to it.
> What does management at this company do, besides invent contrived criticism to mash into a compliment sandwich?
The primary job of a manager is to get their employees promoted. The second job is to do whatever you promised your own management you'll do. So yes, that's what they're supposed to do - the "compliment sandwich" is the yearly performance review.
- snozolli 2y agoIf they're a different team, it's not so much a manager responsibility. That doesn't even make any sense. If you need people from other teams, your manager should absolutely be coordinating that. in tech, it helps to already be doing the next job level up to get promoted to it. That is not justification for negative comments in a review. The primary job of a manager is to get their employees promoted. I have never, in my entire life, ever come across anyone inside or outside of management who held that view. So yes, that's what they're supposed to do Yeesh. Agreeing that management should invent contrived criticism to form a compliment sandwich? Okay. The important part here is the contrived bit, not the compliment sandwich.
