| Jul 10, 2019 at 13:25 | comment | added | noisyRam | The "You are a great member of our team" happened a lot to me here, but when I pointed it out, my teamleader said that I'm too much of a perfectionist and that the team appreciates me a lot and that they enjoy working with me. But I always felt like it was a discrepancy between actions and bi-annual evaluation. (Evaluation was always good, pointing some improvements that should be done, whereas code reviews often required re-implementations) | |

| Jul 10, 2019 at 12:28 | comment | added | user9993 | This answer is a pleasent change from the usual ones here. It really resonantes with my experience of reviews. Focussing on small insignificant "problems" despite doing 100 good things, etc. Really is a massive red flag and usually highlights both personality and managerial problems... | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 12:22 | comment | added | Mason Wheeler | Another of my personal favorites is "we need you to be a team player." What this actually means is "we need you to do things you were not hired to do, that fall well outside of your core competencies, and we're not willing to put up the time and money to train you in it." (In an actual team, the players have well-defined roles; you don't put your pitcher in the outfield or have Nate hack the computers and Sophie fight the thugs!) | |

| Jul 10, 2019 at 5:57 | comment | added | Niko1978 | This is great advice! Also, never believe your employer when they claim that something you say will be treated anonymously. Especially when they ask for "honest and anonymous feedback", it's usually a trap to identify who they need to deal with. | |
