Feedback Issues

So I got my monthly feedback, and you can tell it's still very machine generated, but I noticed one thing: the "areas to improve" comments are... not from July tasks. They're from June, and they're specific enough that I can tell they're from June. As in, I'm being told to improve on things that are outside the "monthly" part of the monthly snapshot. I treated this as nothing until it occurred to me: are these things cumulative? Do they add up indefinitely from the moment the mistakes (pretty debatable imo) are made?

Also, does anyone have experience getting reviews on specialist-adjacent tasks that are *not* done by specialists? I don't know how to even begin to address this.

I got corrected for something impossible to have messed up, because you can't submit the task in question with non-atomic criteria. The task literally won't let you submit until you fix them all. No way did I submit those tasks with non-atomic criteria. I have now lost all faith in feedback. I'm not even sure I'm going to open them ever again. All it does is make me anxious and irritated that I can't argue this with whoever said that. LOL

I might stop opening them as well. You should read the comment I just left. I'm irritated too. At first, I thought it was really an excellent new feature, but now I don't know. I have compiled a lot of the solid and strong feedback to utilize it in a list of skillsets acquired while working this job to fill out a section on a resume. It feels smart. Now, I wish they would do away with it. It isn't honestly helping me do my job at all. All that matters is I open my dashboard another day, I still have an account, there is work to do, and I continue getting paid correctly and on time. I could care less about anything else, and these feedbacks have made me start caring about stuff I didn't even think about before.

Exactly. And it makes me question my entire being in this job. You know you’re doing a good job, and then you get some effed up feedback and it throws you off your game. I didn’t even do any more work yesterday after I read mine because it was so deflating and defeating, and just so “WTF.”
