I often reflect on the nature of the feedback I receive from my boss. Is it helpful, actionable, and aimed at turning me into a better professional? Or is it belittling, personal, and unhelpful? That's a pretty good indicator that your boss is good or toxic.

If you're trying to assess feedback, it's important to remember that it's often in the eye of the beholder. When I was younger I used to think of feedback as a personal attack, which was wrong and stupid. But if the feedback you're getting is not legitimate, and you don't think it's being offered in good faith, that's a problem. Feedback should help you improve, if it's phrased to be punishing that should be objected to.

Should I connect with my current hr to negotiate? Cause I tried convincing the new hr to share the offer letter of DOJ after 3 months but she is not in the favour of that.
