My old boss's 'too nice' feedback made me stop padding reviews

She told me my performance write-ups read like a thank-you card and nobody could tell who was actually struggling in Austin last quarter. I started giving one blunt, specific criticism per person and now my team actually fixes things instead of nodding along. Anyone else get told they were too soft and had to flip their whole style?

Oh, I had to learn that the hard way too, sugar helps nothing when people need a clear target.
