Can it reflect poorly on me if I leave my manager a lot of negative feedback in our 360 reviews?

I would suggest making sure it’s also constructive, and include examples of what they should continue doing as well

thanks all. the situation is that my manager is remote and signs off for several hours a day, leaving me most of his work. he also tries to get me to send him all my work to "review" but then changes nothing and takes credit for driving the work. also makes mistakes and never owns up to them, but when I make mistakes throws me under the bus. I feel like this stuff is so egregious but don't know if my vp would read this and think of me as a bad team player

I feel like you just spelled out my life !!!! I’m literally facing the exact same situation & have tried to have a 1:1 with him but tbh nothing changed because after 2 weeks he was back on his bs! *sigh* I pray everyday he rolls off this project ;-(

Would think about what you can provide F2F vs writing - you don’t want to come across as petty or a “know it all” as you just started in consulting. Also, if you aren’t comfortable saying the same thing to their face, with specific examples, never put it in writing. One final thing, try to give the manager the benefit the the doubt - they often know things you don’t or are being asked to do things a certain way by the D/Sm, not to make your life miserable. Ask vs assume.

Be extremely careful - recommend you speak to them directly as suggested above. Blasting someone to their superiors rarely goes well for the blaster.

OP. Me thinks you’re making a lot of assumptions here. Manager could be working on something else, have something personal going on that is none of your business, etc. Focus on yourself. And it is the job of those above you to drive the work. Don’t worry about credit - if you do a great job, the whole team gets credit. Learn, do good work and don’t ding your leaders.

Not if it’s specific accurate feedback.

I would point out that more regular checkups would be beneficial in the future, that they are making progress as a leader and should invest more in growing and recognizing the work of those below them, ask for opportunities to get more into his work to help him out some, like a shadow of sorts. Make this about developing those in his sphere of influence and you can get to a lot of that in a more positive way.

Build his feedback like you’d want yours written. Comment on those things he does well. Wrap it up by saying “growth as a senior leader will continue to come when you develop others and focus on xyZ.”

thanks this is super helpful!

suggestions on how to frame the conversation? my main issue is the signing off for hours each day, leaving me with a ton of work. I've brought up that I feel under water with the workload, thinking maybe he will step up in response, but he just says things will get better soon. it's been like this for a year now. the rest sucks but I can deal with it, and I'm assuming it's probably best to pick my battles. but I'm struggling to find a tactful way to bring this up

pwc2, thanks I usually operate in this way but it's just me and my manager, and his slacking directly falls on me. no, he's not working on something else. he is offline for 2-3 hours a day (during which he answers emails exclusively from his phone) on average and signs off at 5. when our VP is on vacation he is offline for 4 hours or so per day. I work in industry and he works in a city where no other employees or clients work, so really no reason he should be away from his computer that long

I’ve actually experienced my manager being offline for about 6 hours per day as well. Or sometimes I can tell he’s just keeping himself online from his phone but not being responsive or actually working. It’s really stressful especially when I’m also left with work & not much guidance on it. I wish I could contribute more to this conversation & tell you it’ll get better but I honestly just think some people simply aren’t good managers. Especially considering I’ve been around some really good managers as well. 🤷‍♀️
