[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] just because no one's yelling at you doesn't mean they're pleased. They are trying to tell you that they are displeased, but they are doing it politely so as to not make you feel awful. The fact that they don't want to make you feel awful is a reflection on them as good people, not a reflection on your work as good enough.[/quote]
This, so much this!
It's amazing how complacent people may be. In my organization the client complained about the quality of someone's work products and we placed the person on the PIP. However, this person never realized that the end was near and used the regular meetings and our attention to talk about self. Termination came as a surprise, because even though the person was told about the deficiencies of their work 2x/weekly (!), we did it nicely and did not foster a sense of urgency. [/quote]

Strongly agree.  I treat even the slightest negative feedback from my boss and other managers as something to take very seriously because they don't not give strongly worded negative feedback.  They're always very polite about all feedback so I know that it would be somewhat difficult to differentiate between "I need you to fix this small thing but it's really no big deal" and "you're really screwing up here but I want to give you a chance to fix it".  Safest thing is to treat it as the "you're really screwing up" option.

I have seen others on my team struggle because they treat everything as the no big deal option.  You shouldn't force your managers to be rude or severe with you to get their point across.  [/quote]
