My Manager REFUSES To Give Feedback!!!

Why Feedback Is Important

If you've started working full-time as a software developer, you've probably heard this already. In fact, you're probably sick of hearing it at this point but it still needs to be said:

Feedback is a critical part of being able to grow and improve.

This is especially true when it comes to growing in our careers as software developers. Not only can feedback come from peers and colleagues, but it can (and very much should) be coming from your manager as well.

When we're set up to have open and effective communication with our manager:

  • We work towards alignment on expectations
  • We reduce surprises in terms of performance
  • We reduce uncertainty in our priorities
  • We have a better understanding of our strengths and weaknesses
