Too Long; Didn’t Read I’m not the best, but I believe in improving daily. If you’re like many of us, it’s no news that we spend many hours crafting something (article or any artwork) and still end up being thrown off balance by our client’s derogatory feedback. Whether you’re a remote worker or an on-site office worker, negative feedback does have a way of hitting your mojo, and if cautious care isn’t taken, it could lead to depression. remote-work #freelancing #freelance-writing #feedback-to-actionable-advice #career-advice #employee-productivity #feedback Read by Dr. One (en-US) Audio Presented by @ejioforfrancis200 Ejiofor Francis Tech enthusiast and freelance writer.

If you’re like many of us, it’s no news that we spend many hours crafting something (article or any artwork) and still end up being thrown off balance by our client’s derogatory feedback. Whether you’re a remote worker or an on-site office worker, negative feedback does have a way of hitting your mojo, and if cautious care isn’t taken, it could lead to depression. Typically, feedback should serve as a light shining on things we can’t see for ourselves and not the other way around. But that isn’t the case today. Some employers put employees in positions to deal with them in their own way through knife-stabbing feedback not knowing they’re hurting their work motivations. Feedback is very necessary and vital for growth. According to 2023 research by Zippia , it was recorded that about 98% of employees will disengage from work when they receive little or no feedback. Statistically, employees want to know how their services have affected the company’s growth. Passion-driven employees want to know how their efforts have affected the company, but it’s unfortunate that so many employers don’t know how to give feedback in an encouraging manner. Meanwhile, a seminal meta-analysis suggested that almost 70% of feedback recipients will perform above average, and about 30% of feedback interventions actually hurt performance. From all indications, positive feedback is easier to convey, but if you’re true to yourself, you’ll agree with me that negative feedback helps us grow better in our work performance. Still, the manner of how, when, and why the superior dishes the feedback is the main challenge. For example, If an employer/editor of an organization develops some undefined hatred for a certain writer; the way and manner in which he or she is going to be giving feedback to the writer would be cruel and not many would be able to take the heat. Naturally, some would be affected psychologically and might struggle to focus on work. I’m not saying giving solid and correctional feedback is wrong; what I’m saying is that there are so many employers out there who don’t know how to give feedback, and the side effects this has on employees are really deep.
