Way back, Directors managed their teams as needed. If conflicting priorities occurred the Director could set priorities and set aside the lesser important priority. Now, and as it's been for quite a while, Directors are messengers delivering everything leadership says with no power to run their orgs. They are reduced to keeping the budgets in line, outsourcing, and insuring layoffs occur. That's the reality.

No, don’t want anything used against me. Depends what the feedback is on....

My boss has same concerns I do. And can’t do a dang thing to change it. So nope. Cuz what’s the point?
Mine keeps saying " I do not care." So as it turns out, I do not care either.
Depends on what level of supervisor your referring to...at some point they just don't care. VP and above they don't want the feedback because then they might actually have to do something which would require work.

Nope. Nope, nope, nope. Why?! What's the point. Meh....
I never talk to my boss because he has absolutely no idea what I do for a living. His main concern is that we lie and cheat as much as possible to get his numbers up so that he can get a bigger bonus.
I used to have a sup that I could say anything and not fear any repercussions. Not any longer. I don't have the same level of trust I used to have (and miss!).
The best!!
