Ask HN: Is it OK to ask co-workers for my performance review?

Posted by JollyGiant on Tuesday July 18, 2017 @08:10AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Last year I got my first lead developer position. Since then I got my performance review from main manager and that went great but I still wonder if staff that I am working with is as happy with me as management is.

Is it OK to ask my subordinates for my performance review?

Interesting question. What you ask for is a '360 feedback' which is usually a smart way to get rid of people without being the predator ('the team is not happy with you...').

Imagine your boss asking for the same feedback-- how would you respond? Probably with something safe, non-ego bruising.
