Truth. Wtf? Why is this a question? This is business not a date. Don't be precious. There's so many bad employees being tolerated for months then fired because no one wants to work with them. Tell the truth and offer suggestions for improvement. The best compliment is believing the can change and grow. Then if they don't, let them go. They'll at least understand why vs being idle for months before being canned and feeling blindsided.

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!
