    No Upward Feedback
    Oct 7 2026

    Ever been asked to give "upward feedback" to your boss and wondered if it’s a trap? In this episode, we break down why upward feedback isn't just a waste of time - it can actively damage your career. We examine the root causes behind these requests, from undermanagement to misguided consulting trends, and explore why feedback should flow downstream, not up. Plus, we uncover the truth about "anonymous" workplace surveys and share practical strategies to handle requests for upward feedback safely and effectively.
