This is such an interesting observation. I have noticed something similar, where it feels like direct communication is almost discouraged and people can't handle it. Everyone is supposed to hedge around difficult conversations instead of just coming out with it. How did we get here? I don't think this is a good place for us to be in, especially in the healthcare industry. We need to keep each other accountable, and we can do so respectfully and directly
There was one manager that would give feedback like this. And while it was nice to have what felt like a mostly positive review, I was also kind of confused as to what I needed to do afterwards. Which can lead to problems anyways. Constructive criticism is usually better to get bluntly!
I've had some managers who seemed to have trouble expressing firm ideas on anything. So when they gave feedback it tended to be buzzwords and gibberish. I just accepted it and didn't let it bother me. I knew what I had to do, and I knew when I was going a good job anyway.
I don't mind using my own compass, but it puts me in a weird position when I want to ask for a raise and I don't know how to gauge if I've met what their expectations are to warrant that, since they're just always so vague on everything. Oy! Lol
