Off topic: I am stuck in a service based company for last 4 years in a shitty project. The work I do can be done by a 12th grader. Now i want to move out by learning something new & changing my domain. But the thing is I am not able to study because I am stuck in a comfort zone and learning new thing gives me bad anxiety. It feels like I will never learn & be forever stuck here. Pls help on how to come out of comfort zone, learn things and apply for the job. Tata Consultancy Infosys Wipro

As a manager group, we used to hear this all the time. Turns out, in an attempt to not be total dicks, people couldn’t recognize when they were receiving feedback because we would cushion the blow and try to give it a positive spin when possible. We had to explicitly tell people when they were getting feedback to fix it. Think about the job - nobody ever told you anything at all about your work? They straight up reviewed every document/workpaper/deliverable, never asked a question and never talked to you about anything? That seems highly unlikely and you would probably be complaining about the horrible engagement rather than the feedback in that case
That’s so true! I hadn’t thought of that perspective
If you aren’t setting up regular touch points during the project, you should. Always.
Yeah you need to pull it out of them - but better you learned this in a smaller / less meaty project than on a 5 or 6 month engagement
Plus that way you have backing to fight the review if you can show you had multiple sessions to collect ongoing feedback and never received any directionally negative feedback you could correct
I had that happen twice, once from a client and once from a sm. Talk to me people
It was about a month long and we had regular check-ins on progress throughout each week so I felt confident there wouldn’t be any surprises! I guess from now on I need to explicitly say the words “do you have any feedback for me” ugh
PWC1 - so weird, your post did not appear for me until just now! I definitely understand what you are saying. This was a document review project, super easy shit. My inventory of documents wasn’t reviewed until the last week even though I sent it in every few days and continued to ask how to standardize the data and more more info on the criteria for review. The feedback I received today would have changed the way I populated a number of columns had I received it earlier!
Did you need to request feedback? For small projects I tend not to.
What do you consider a bad review? What ratings in LEAD?
EY2- I definitely regret requesting it now! This cycle I had one project wrapping up (SM who I reported to was laid off), a couple weeks unassigned, then a few weeks of business development work, so I felt like I needed to request from this one
EY4- I got an “often” for quality and a “usually” for personal leadership. The often is what rattled me, I think I’ve gotten a couple of “usually” over the last year or so but usually along with better responses
Yeah, often and usually aren’t necessarily a bad review I would say, but depends on who you ask
That happened to me during an internship so I went with a different firm.
I think people just don't understand the LEAD rating system. It's a short project, and I'm assuming that it isn't terribly complex. You're basically meeting expectations with those marks.
