'She asked for feedback': Employee offers new boss 'open and honest' critique, boss gets upset

Giving feedback is a delicate skill that this person might not have mastered quite yet. This worried employee wrote to r/AmItheA**hole for some much-needed feedback of his own!

As u/Davetherocker wrote, he has had a new boss for only about four months, but she's experienced in the field. However, she's still finding her footing with the team she's managing, though the OP writes he and the team are supporting her as she learns the ropes.

The OP's troubles started during a team meeting. It seems very awkward the way he describes it. He writes that at the group meeting, the boss asked for "feedback on her performance," but all of the team members just praised her without actually giving any real criticisms. Now that he's been extra honest in front of the entire team, he's wondering if he made a mistake.

Next, these food service workers share the funniest things people have ever said to them at the workplace, like one woman who insisted on having vegan deviled eggs.
