Either for a job you applied for, or at one you had?

The feedback at my job right now sucks in that it's virtually impossible to get any even if I want it. I've been trying to ask for it for years now and ignored at every turn. I even made my own feedback form and gave it to my supervisors and got no responses.

I had a boss who submitter my evaluation report saying that I waited until 15 minutes after end of workday to start on my assigned tasks. I had to go through an appeal process and submit statements from others (some my peers, some his peers, plus his supervisor) stating that he held me late every day while he went over all of his emails that assigned tasks for our section that were supposed to be completed that day and then had me do them. I went home at least 5 hours late every day for 8 months before he was finally fired.

Couple days back I got a really comprehensive report on my performance at an assessment centre (thirty pages, all detailed and evidence based, was very impressed).

Was all generally very positive, and on passing a drug test they'll take me on.

Except, (paraphrasing to avoid google searching) they said throughout the exercises I showed a marked tendency towards treating staff as tools rather than people, and whilst showing an awareness of the importance of morale, and strategies to maintain it - I only used this towards the aim of maintaining operational effectiveness.

"You're not smiling enough."

Worst, or dumbest?

That I didn't wish some girl good luck on her lottery ticket. She took it really personally? My other favourite is when people essentially complain I didn't read their minds - that is, when they ask for something with as little info/specifics as possible.

This was during a year doing 'social work', which is basically a full 40 hour per week job for a wee bit more than nothing. The job I worked wasn't something I would ever do again and often involved working on weekends and staying late to prepare stuff. Thing is, only about less than a third of the applicants get any job at all (you can choose out of list of businesses and jobs and apply for your fave 3). Things got a bit strained towards the end and it didn't help that I worked with my boss face to face every day.
Cue this gem: "If you hadn't written in your application, that you were in [name of organization for kids with cancer where I was very active and did a lot of work for] I wouldn't have choosen you for this job!"
(As in saying that if I hadn't had cancer, she would have taken another applicant, needless to say that I advised her upon concluding the job to just take who she really wanted and spare the other applicants the attitude)

On my very first review ever at a job (retail), the feedback I got was that I was cold and indifferent. I don't think I'm (or was) like that at all. It was very upsetting to me and I cried.

You're not that fingal, you are bright and awesome. The silliness of your icon is beautiful. Donut cry.

[gif of hug]

Well, there was this situation where I had trained this guy to do a simple job in the lab where I worked and I had held that job previously to him. He was such a fuckup in the job and couldn't manage his time well and blamed for it since I used one piece of his equipment once a week for an hour that day during a time when he wasn't using it.

Anyway, he blamed me for his running late and decided to go off on me on my birthday, which I believe was deliberate (our birthdays and names were clearly marked on a calendar which hung in the room where this occurred). He called me an incompetent bitch, blamed me for his running late every day (as if!), etc. He then ran to the assistant manager and complained about my behavior, who came to talk w/me about it. I told him what the whiner had said to me (incompetent bitch, etc.) and he went back and made him apologize to me.

Unfortunately, it didn't end there. HE and the assistant manager were friends and the a.m. had it out for me and accused me of things, which weren't my fault but HIS fault (I covered his job when he was gone and was accused of leaving the countertop dirty, etc. I proved it was b/c HE didn't clean it up properly so sometimes I might miss a spot when I did clean up after myself; I forced him to eat his words about that; the a.m. didn't like that.

Also, whiner boy whined to everybody in the department. I had to attend one of the Stephen Covey seminars (all staff took turns doing it) and part of it was a comprehensive feedback evaluation where I got comments such as, "made a mountain out of molehill" (about this situation), etc. God, I hated those people. Looking back, I regret not running and running my mouth off whining about his behavior but I didn't feel like discussing it w/anybody there and didn't and it bit me in the ass, I guess. C'est la vie.
