For a long time, I only looked to my manager for feedback. Lately I’ve realized peers and cross-functional partners often see things my manager doesn’t. I’m trying to broaden who I ask — even if it feels vulnerable.
Who do you usually go to for honest feedback?

I start with “Hey can you help me…” that makes them feel important and helps get real feedback.

Ask multiple people and then if you feel their feedback is just being nice, then tell them I want the truth!

I think mentors are really valuable, a friend ally that isn't your direct manger will give honest advice.

I think this is a strong move. I usually go to peers who depend on my work and stakeholders downstream. They tend to give the most practical and honest feedback.

I do take peers' feedback, luckily, in Workday, we have multiperspective feedback that helps with this!

Oh cool. That sounds like a nice tool.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?
