> Every few months we have to [...] come up with both positive and negative feedback.
I hate this so much! The company has decided that my colleagues deserve negative feedback for their work (why? no reason at all, just to remind them of their place I guess), but I am the one who is told to make up some and deliver it to them. Fuck no! How about you play your crazy mind games yourself. Next time, will you also ask me to spit in their faces?
So my "negative feedback" is usually of the type: works too hard, or cares about the project too much.
The real reason for this forced negative feedback is probably to give managers some material to quote when your colleague will ask for a raise, so they don't even have to bother making up the reason for rejection themselves. As a bonus, if the colleague knows that you wrote the part they quoted, it makes you the bad guy, not the company.
Are these new trends in company management modelled after abusive relatioships? Or is this just the natural behavior of people who are born to be bosses?
