I’ve seen quite a few (assumably pretty online) people ask for anonymous feedback via this website.
I’d be interested to learn from people that use admonymous.co whether;
1. They actually get feedback
2. Whether it is useful feedback
I send a message to the top 40 people I interact with every six months asking for feedback on (anonymously);
1. What is one thing I should stop doing, or do less of?
2. What is one thing I should start doing, or do more of?
I am wondering if getting feedback from people I don’t know well is worth it, considering the effort I’m already making.
I have gotten feedback on my admonymous a total of 7 times, in the ~year that I’ve had it.
I haven’t really properly solicited that feedback at any point, just had it passively linked on my social media & Slack profile.
I’d say none of those 7 feedback items were really really useful, but they were mostly a bit useful, and often made me feel happy/good to know.
Very similar for me!
Good to know :) would you mind providing an example or hypothetical of the type of feedback?
Awesome, would you mind providing an example or hypothetical of the type of feedback?
Two generically positive compliments (e.g. ‘You’re cool!’ (not a real example))
A couple of items where someone I work with felt the form was the best medium by which to give some work-related feedback — they did actually de-anonymise, but it gave them a place to put their feedback which was a) accessible to nobody else and b) unobtrusive & didn’t immediately prompt a conversation.
One person said words to the effect ‘I thought you did a good job at [x public event where they saw me]’
One person commented on my social presence, in a slightly off-beat way that I think would have been hard/unlikely to say in person.
One person commented on someone I follow on Twitter.
thx! Based on your experience it seems like it is worth setting up, even if not hugely impactful.
Relatable content
@OllieBase speaking of relatable, the boys are back
I think I’ve never gotten real feedback! It’s possible I’m not promoting it often enough/not making specific requests of people, so people don’t know it’s an option.
