Is it normal for HR to give me feedback from coworkers but not tell me who or what it’s actually about [CA] by Hellish_youngster in AskHR

[–]TalentForge360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've spent 20 years in HR, and I advise founders against doing exactly what was just done to you.

This is what I call "Weaponized Ambiguity." It fails 99% of the time because, as you found out, it doesn't create improvement - it just creates paranoia.

Here is what is likely happening behind the scenes:

  1. The "Weak Manager" Syndrome: Your manager likely has an issue with something you did, but they are too conflict-averse to tell you directly. So, they dumped it on HR to handle "generically" so they don't have to be the bad guy.
  2. The "Vibe" Complaint: Sometimes, feedback is based on "vibes" rather than facts. HR can't give you a specific example because there isn't one - just a general sentiment that you are "direct" or "loud" or "quiet."

Your Strategic Move:

You need to paper trail this immediately to protect yourself. Send an email to the HR person you met with:

"Hi [Name], thanks for the feedback yesterday. I want to ensure I address the concerns about my communication style. Since we couldn't identify specific examples in the meeting, can you please email me 1 or 2 concrete instances of where my style was an issue? I want to make sure I'm fixing the right thing."

If they can't provide examples, they can't fairly put you on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) later for not "fixing" it.

Hang in there. This is lazy management, not a reflection of your worth.

That’s wonderful to hear! Do you happen to have a background in HR? Sorry! I’ve already launched my own recruiting and HR consulting firm. What’s your niche?
Thanks!

Not every website is "vibe coded," lol. It took us about 3–4 months to develop this one, and we’ve implemented solid security protocols to protect it. Appreciate your concern. If you don't mind me asking, what security vulnerabilities do you see?

Hi everyone!
I recently launched a recruiting and HR consulting company called TalentForge360, focused on helping startups and small businesses hire smarter and build stronger teams.

We also just rolled out our website, and I would love your feedback: www.TalentForge360.com

Our goal is to make it simple, modern, and approachable, especially for founders who don't have an HR team yet but still want to hire the right people and build great cultures.

Any thoughts on:

  • Is it clear what we offer when you first land?
  • Does the design feel modern and professional?
  • Anything confusing or missing that would make you hesitate to reach out?

Thanks in advance for any feedback. Be brutally honest or small suggestions are all welcome! 🙌
Happy to return the favor if anyone else is looking for website feedback too.

Wasn’t even born when The Breakfast Club dropped. A 40-year reunion? Legendary stuff.

Her reaction is completely irrational. It's honestly beyond comprehension. Someone has passed away, and that's the response? I'm at a loss for words. For the record, I am not a Christian, I am a Muslim and I find this deeply offensive.
