[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:53 here.  And I will add that you say at the start of your post you don't want snark, but then you go on to basically say how fabulous you are compared to your jealous, underperforming coworkers.

So it sounds to me like you don't want honest feedback.

I should add that your boss said your coworkers are upset because they aren't getting the big assignments.  So it isn't that they are underperforming; it's that they feel they aren't being given the opportunity to perform, after having been there long before you came along.  Somehow it seems you think that you have experience, but they don't.

You can move to the private sector, but no matter where you go, you are going to have to work on your interpersonal skills, and you are going to have to get a thicker skin when it comes to getting feedback.

Your boss is trying to tell you to work on building relationships.  Your boss is actually a good boss because he doesn't want acrimony.  If anything, he is doing you a favor because he doesn't want a situation where you are hated by all of your coworkers.  He is trying to help you remedy that.
