Yes! This! Feedback is considered mean by so many people. THEN DON’T ASK FOR FEEDBACK I was asked for feedback after coming back to and re-acclimating the office after covid (“tell us what you think/ need” etc) and when I gave feedback I was called insubordinate and HR talked to me 😐
In that writing class, someone just put, "I didn't like your ending", so I asked for them to elaborate, and they just went, "I didn't think it was good", which tells me nothing I responded, "endings aren't for everyone, but if you can't even say what's wrong, then why should I bother changing it"
At my first job; hotel front desk, there was a notebook to write feedback in, or notes for corrections... it got taken away cause other employees complained about my "reminders" I mean, after 3 times reminding them to, "please put receipts in audit's box", I started using the red pen
