@fearlessworkplace: When feedback is emotional and vague, most people make it worse by explaining, apologizing, or agreeing just to end the discomfort. This is a de-escalation strategy. The goal is to pull the conversation out of emotion, get specific, and close it without accepting a judgment you didn’t define. This works when a manager is acting in good faith and wants resolution. If the feedback feels political or strategic, comment PART 3.

I did exactly this (asking for specifics so I can understand better) and my boss couldn’t answer. She instead just repeated saying “am I not allowed to share my feelings?” like a broken tape 😅

My boss told me I was hurting her bc I specifically told her everyone knew I left at 6pm on the dot, saying she’s flexible and whatnot I don’t give a damn girl that’s my 8 hour mark I’m LEAVING. It’s funny how putting boundaries that shouldn’t be put is apparently misconduct or bad attitude….

At a previous job the managers who always complained about my attitude had the worst attitudes out of all of us

Any time I've heard this, I always replied: "I'm always open for conversation, but you need to be open to hear how you're the cause of my attitude." Abrasive, yes, but effective.

He called me emotional even though I had specific reasons why I was being targeted. Then my hr said I was problematic with a play of words. Saying I’m not trying to be threatening but…

I had this. All my manager would say was she'd had reports from others. When I tried to ascertain anything more specific, I was told she couldn't disclose. I was left wondering what I was supposedly doing wrong. Caused me a lot of distress! I eventually left after nearly 2 years of this. Subsequently diagnosed with autism. Recognising now I was essentially being bullied by management.

how about a manager always checking on your movements (my job is mobile out of office) and since I make a lot of mistakes at this new job, I've become like a target. every little slip ups is being questioned

My manager refused to give me details. She said I should already know even when I said her feedback was super vague. She fired me ASAP after that.

Mine gave baseless accusations with no facts- This is after I noticed I was being set up for failure. I called for a one on one and the moment they saw that I was documenting - I could see the fear in their eyes- that was my confirmation- I Quickly followed up with an email noting down what was said,bracing myself for war- and YES STILL DOCUMENTING !!!
