My situation is similar; the manager who decides on reviews for our "team" THINKS he's technical, but he's basically useless. He hinders communication between team members, reassigns people to projects arbitrarily and without warning, and has had a 100% attrition rate for his team since he joined it. No one, even folks on other teams, have had good experiences working with him, because the one thing that he does NOT do is work to remove barriers that we developers have to face in order to get our jobs done. (He creates far more barriers than he removes.)
And yet HE is the one who evaluates OUR performance... making the entire process a waste of time.
To top it off, he isn't even honest in his reviews... as far as I can tell it's all politics for him, basically doing anything he can to shift blame down from him onto us.
- Silhouette 17y agoThis is why everyone's review should include feedback from peers and, where applicable, subordinates. It's also a good argument for including discussions with your boss's boss in your review, to avoid a poor but politically savvy manager being able to competely filter feedback from everyone below them to the higher-ups who could do something about that poor manager in the middle.
- Tamerlin 17y agoI agree. I think that's a good idea.
