Honest dilemma.
Colleague is pretty rubbish at her job. Not dire at her main job but one of those stress, flappy, complaining people who makes everything seem twice as much hard work.
A smaller part of her job is doing a task that I manage for our team. She is shite at that. I've told our joint line manager several times and she agrees but does nothing. (I can't do much about it I manage it but don't manage the people).
Anyway, we have that anonymous feedback malarkey for our annual appraisals. She's asked me. If I'm honest, she'll know it comes from me because no one else in the firm would say she needs to improve at X. But we sit a few desks apart in a very small team so, awkward.
Which one is more U - to be polite, vague and not very constructive in my feedback, or brutally honest and endure the fall out?
(And just to be clear, there is NOTHING important about our job, so it really doesn't matter if she's good at it or not)
