Is it advisable to give feedback to your manager ?

Feedback to your manager in 1:1?

Product Manager

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Saw the job description on Instagram and found it interesting the problem statement they're trying to solve but also not sure if they're solving the correct problems.

How is listed.fans as a company?

I'll go first. It is mostly operational and never strategic. Updates, status, retention etc. 

What about you?

What do you usually discuss in 1:1s with your manager?

Are you happy with your product team? How is your Head/leadership team?

What's the most valuable thing you've learned from a younger colleague?
How has it impacted your work or perspective?

As title says, I have resigned and my boss who is also the founder of the company has set up a 1:1 session with me. 
I was fed up of him because of his micromanagement and stupid asks. Basically he was just being a person who think if I have paid, I can ask anything from my employees. 

Now,  I wish to tell him all of this in 1:1 and say how he is not at all worthy to run a employee friendly company. 

Do you all think it'll be a good idea? Will it impact me in future in any way? Will my next joining be impacted by this?

Telling Boss how bad he was during Resignation

Don’t do that. Telling him all those things will get you nothing, rather he can screw up your exit, FnF, background verification. Just move on

Hey guys, i am going to be a manager for the first time in a company that i have been working at for 3 years and I have people joining me from monday.. any tips for being a good manager?

Going to be a manager for the first time

- Just be receptive to their thoughts, understand their povs. 
  
 - Help them understand their role and your expectations from them clearly. 
  
 - Direct manager plays a huge role in someone’s POV about the organisation, set some biweekly or monthly one on ones to understand/tackle problems they are facing. use the same meeting to communicate your expectations from them. 
  
 - One thing that is often neglected is, making sure your team members have a visibility outside your team as well. Promote a culture where in your manager also knows about your subordinates and what they are good at.  
  
 - Provide them your support towards their career goals. 
  
 - Finding a good balance between becoming too strict (getting work done) vs too supportive ( some lemons take advantage of this). 
  
 If you end up doing half of the above they will remember you throughout their career. I was fortunate enough to have two manager in my career like that. Both of them I still reach out for career guidance.

Staff Engineer

Been in this company for about 8 months. Company is great but there’s just this team that works on all the important things that’s absolutely hard to keep up with. They don’t share anything with us till the last minute. 
I was asked to share some copy for something and when I asked was more information, I was told that it’s “confidential”. I just pointed out that I can’t do anything about it if I’m not given more info. I’ve been begging for more responsibilities the past couple of months. I’m okay with mediocrity and just warming the bench for a few weeks. But can’t let my career take a fall with that. 
I’ve jumped between jobs too many times, I last a year at best everywhere and I want to stay here for a while and build up. But the more I watch them, making plans with the founders, doing their thing and hiring new people, all the while I’m here asking to be seen, it feels like this is just how it’s going to be. 
I get paid well, I spend only about 2 to 3 hours working everyday. Might sound like the ideal job for some but I definitely feel like if a layoff comes, I’ll bite the dust because I was not given the opportunity to be part of this group and did nothing important.

The core team feels like a gang that everyone else can never infiltrate

Growth Manager

The one who
- Keeps nagging with status updates
- Pushes you to achieve a goal which is merely quantitative & not qualitative
- Appreciates employees that show ‘first-benchers’ trait
- Junks your ideas to satisfy his own ego
- Pretends busy all the time

What's the most creative way you've seen someone handle a difficult client or customer?

I've been given task of talking to few users every month, although i do it for the sake of showing it on paper, i don't find any real value out of it. 

It's an activity that just drains my time. 

I know what needs to be built, and have insights that hardly anyone in my org has. 

Do you really think it is that important?

Do you believe in user feedback?

Post most of the interviews in software engineering there  is no feedback or its said they will communicate if they get some details. 

What are your views on the feedback. Should the interviewer provide it or not. 

I feel, especially for the take home assignments, proper feedback should be provided to the interviewee.
It should be mandatory not optional. ( Strong words but whatever )

Feedback or no feedback

We've seen stories and videos of employees receiving appraisals from their managers. (Of course, more of hatred)

Now, as a manager, how did you prepare yourself to share such feedbacks, both positive and negative. Did your team respect you less or more after appraisals?

There'd be employees who deserve more but due to higher management restrictions, they're unable to get the deserving number. How do you prepare in such situations?

How were positive appraisals delivered?

Share your experiences from your professional journey.

As a manager, how do you share appraisal feedback?

Its like Grapevine, “Everyone knows about it but no one wants to admit”🤫

Manager Feedback/ Employee Signals

Why does HR ghosts? Is this being taught to them in HR courses? 
In a decent work setup a simple No or Yes either on mail or text would be ideal.

Ghosting by HR

As I read few posts about leadership styles, rants about pathetic managers. Since this platform has a combination of managers & freshers/reportees.

Just thought to know what defines a good manager.

Also would like to know from people who are in the leadership role - What makes you think you are a good manager & what is that one thing u want to do to make others life better at office.
