As a perm employee i often found feedback was too opinion-based; good or bad I was never really sure what to do with the feedback especially if I didn’t respect the opinion-giver (maybe not a great stance in a politically driven organisation!) but when I was a contractor it was delightful - a contract extension was all the feedback I needed from the client and both parties could just focus on getting on with the job
I love this Sarra - and completely agree re contract extension. I also stopped believing in the positive feedback too in the end - all felt a bit pointless, vacuous and directionless.
And when I was a manger giving these reviews I felt the same!

Thanks Shelley, was it the second barbed comment about HR in two weeks? Sorry HR, I know you're well-meaning...
