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

Are you really that disposable?

Anyone can be replaced. Anyone.

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

Feedback is a gift. Why wouldn't you want to hear about how you can do better?

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"

I had a job once where I took training that said feedback was a gift and that we should always express thanks for it

We have to do self reviews, peer reviews, and manager reviews.

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

Sep 4, 10:23am

At my job, the response would be. "Sounds good..... don't expect a raise."

notaboy

Sep 4, 10:28am

reminds me of the job interview questions "Why do you want this job?"

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.
