Do these places ever discuss receiving feedback? Genuinely actioning feedback like this requires an extremely high level of trust, and expecting that level of trust in a short time window is borderline predatory.

For example, I would never provide critical feedback within the first 6 months (minimum) of a new hire starting (similar window I apply to providing feedback on codebase issues etc).


I don't get it. Don't you want to give as much feedback as possible in the beginning, before bad habits form and relationships are permanently soured?


Sorry for the late reply. The Manager Tools podcast definitely talks about both sides of feedback. Everything they teach is predicated on building strong relationships, through weekly 1x1s, and starting off with positive feedback only after multiple months of conducting 1x1s.
