In an ideal corporate setting, the manager's feedback is supposed to help your employees realise the reasons for inconsistencies in their performance. Thus, feedback should facilitate employees' career growth. However, in most situations, the opposite happens. There are varied reasons.

These mistakes negate the very purpose of giving feedback and jeopardise the relationship between managers and their subordinates.
