Lukewarm take: I don’t want feedback at work. I don’t want good feedback. I don’t want constructive feedback.

Anyone can be replaced. Anyone.

Sounds like you've landed in a decent place with at least a half-decent manager

Because any employee worth anything already knows where they can improve.

Strongly disagree with that.

When employees improve what they know they need to improve, it leads to linear growth. When they are shown areas to

I think I was clear. I don’t want to do better.

Totally fair, but don't expect the company to pay you more than a COL increase

The Chief

Sep 4, 10:32am

Which is also totally fine. Society prob puts too much pressure on "advancing"

Feedback should come in the form of a raise or lack thereof.

Sounds like morale is low and you may be burnt out. I've got just the thing

Have you considered finding a new job?

septicpumper

I'm sure you led with this in your interview for mod. Jefe:

I think you really misunderstand moderation and that “feedback” they give you on CB.
