[quote=Anonymous]I work on a team of 4 people. We are all on the same level and pay grade. One person is designated the "team leader" but it's mainly so that there's a clear contact person. Our "team leader" got called into boss's office today and was told in a rude tone that we all should be making sure we're following our job description closely and if it doesn't improve by next week she'll be talking to us individually. Team leader asked for more clarification and all the boss did was keep repeating that same line and would not give any more clarification.

Of course my coworker came and told us all and none of us had any clue what the boss was referring to. We're all conscientious workers and I know I have always gotten great performance reviews. I haven't asked the others, but I'm sure theirs are fine as well.

So now we're all feeling on edge and mulling over what would have led to this situation. But it also has me thinking about the boss's leadership style. How does it make sense to just give a blanket statement to a team of 4 people without any specifics? We're always told to give specific feedback in a constructive way, but this was anything but. I would prefer that she would have spoken to us individually about any issues so that we could address anything specific that needs to be clarified or improved upon. How can we improve if we don't know what's wrong?

Have you ever had a boss like this, and if so, how have you dealt with it?
