Interesting that you haven't included a 'middle of the road' response.
Something along the lines of 'I assume... that they really don't care two hoots as long as the work gets done.'

Which is generally how I see it.

Same here...I've done a good enough job not to get noticed, but not that great of a job.

that I've done so-so.

Btw, you might want to check out the Kabalarian's analysis of the name Cthulhu. Just posted about it - really sheds a whole new light on Lovecraft.

* that I've done an adequate job or have simply performed to the level people are accustomed to

So, feedback feedback would be the feedback on my feedback?

I'm used to not getting feedback. It generally means that my boss(es) are too busy fighting other crises to deal with me and I'm expected to cope and ask questions if there is a problem...

Actually that's probably true of me too. I only knew I was doing something right when I won an international prize. I haven't had a proper staff appraisal in 15 years of doing my job. Academe really is the last refuge of appalling lack of management.

I feel I've done a reasonable job. Actually, probably slightly south of reasonable. Well, maybe before my appraisal I thought that. Now I think I've done a reasonably good job.

Did you want a single answer to that?

Gutted.

I usually try to assume that people haven't even seen it, or have too much of a life to currently comment on it. But the closest second would have to be what I answered.

A.

That people can't be arsed to give me feedback, good or bad.

I presume I'm doing just average if I get no feedback.

Let me expand on that: When my job was systems programmer - data storage management, if I got no feedback at all, I was doing a great job. If everything was running fine, no-one cared about me. If my name was being bandied about, things weren't going so well. Luckily, laying the mainframe down low was my fault only once. >_>;; There were always others with better name recognition than I had. Which I was thankful for.

But with my other lines of work, if I didn't get feedback, either they didn't care, or I was doing so-so.
