Minpunten
There is no 360 degrees feedback or nothing along those lines which is sincerely done. Managers can and do get away with anything. They tend to be horrible to their directs, at times even using profanities and curse words in team meetings and in 1:1 and yet they get away because they are technically very sound and business values them for it. There is no feedback for managers that the directs can provide. There is no way you can voice out your opinion about your manager and have someone hear it. The business totally relies on their managers not because of their managerial or people handling skills but only because they have been top contributors or technically sound. The whole focal process is so opaque. Everything relies on the managers. Nothing is communicated to the employee. The employee / directs knows only final rating whether they have been rated Top Contributor or Fully Contributor or RI and that too at end of year. There is no split provided as to how they have been scored on the various parameters. The 1:1 and focal discussions are just a sham. It is just a sadistic game for managers to play cat and mouse with their directs. The managers (especially those who report into US managers) are so conceited with the full knowledge that you can neither go against them or over their head or to the regional HR folks. The managers here totally demoralize you. The regular feedback are only on paper. Most of the managers here don't provides feedback in time or help you to achieve your goals. They set unrealistic goals, do no course correction over the year or assist you and at the end of the year mark you down by giving such low focal increase that it hardly beats the inflation
