(I'm 40, worked in software the whole time, from startups to 300-developer projects.) Yes, ask outright for an evaluation of particular people, but not asking as described. | |

Asking for constructive feedback from peers as part of performance reviews is pretty common in my experience, but there it's not so much "who would you rather not work with" as "what is Gina doing well and what could she be doing better?". | |

That would have turned it from an awkward situation into an opportunity to get my two-cents in for the next time teams are reformed. Is this sort of question from a manager not uncommon, then? | |
