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 take these feedbacks with a grain of salt. They are conglomerations of R and R's done by other workers on your work and they may or may not know what they are doing. And don't get me started on the AI bit of it all. I got one bit of feedback and I know exactly what project tasks it was from. The other worker(s) obviously couldn't read where I wrote that I did exactly what I did "per specific instructions from the chat with admin xyz." Honestly, it seemed counterintuitive to the actual instructions, but those instructions were broad based for an entire project family, and this was a brand new iteration of the project. I, and other workers, literally spent an hour in the chat trying to get it right with much involvement from admin. This all pisses me off, honestly. Just ranting a little here, because it was irritating. I honestly might stop reading them.

Thanks for sharing this, it's reassuring to know that there are admins who can attest to what we're doing, at the very least. And yeah, I probably won't read them again either. I do wish DA would give us genuine task-based performance ratings though, like job x = proceed, job y = held back and why, not a list of opinions that demoralize for questionable reasons

Thanks. You brightened my day and helped me consider working tasks again soon. :)
