Two things… 1. is the only time you get give feedback is during a performance review? Why wait till then. 2. What about when you give feedback to people who feel like they should be in your position and they absolutely ignore it or disregard it?
I was at a job where they sicked a proverbial pitbull on me...she attacked my character when giving me feedback and said I was combative because I asked clarifying questions and where to find the information in our operational procedures guide. She literally would come to work and act like she was having a mental episode or like she was under the influence of something. This was my rationale with regard to her behavior, since no normal person would behave that way towards a coworker- especially a newly hired coworker that was learning the ropes . She was nasty rude and uncouth and had the nerve to brag about being a major corporate trainer for seven years. The only thing I could think is, "I see why you're not a trainer at the other company you came from" The other trainer who I was paired with even told me she had heard the same feedback that was coming from me about"pitbull." She was awful and what's worse I was at her mercy she was the gatekeeper that insulated all of the higher up managers. If a manager did not like you or had a personal problem with you or ,God forbid, saw you as a threat ( maybe jealous of you),she would do their dirty work. They in turn would cover her back. She was so toxic - the environment was so toxic. One of the trainers was so immature - she judged everyone - always made fun of everyone - and even bragged about getting people fired ...even worse she curried favor with the captain/ manager who ALWAYS talked about how he "got somebody outta there (the job)" or how he would "get someone repo-ed in a heartbeat" . They claimed they didn't bully but that place is a job full of rampant bullies that don't respect differences. I never had a chance in that organization the feedback was about making me look incompetent not about building me as an employee. What's funny is I outshined the employees they were fast tracking...it just wasn't for me 🤷🏽♀️
This is so on point! Especially, the equitable distribution of feedback.
Gold. Thank you Ginny!
Loving your videos, thank you so much for sharing. 👏👏👏
I believe open communication ( of all types) really prevents such corrosion of trust in the workplace!
I work in long term care, and feedback is vicious, passive aggressive, and unsound.
