Feedback Requested

[Jim Spector]

Been asked to provide feedback on another consultant that is also engaged by clientco for an 'appraisal' of the consultant by their employer.

I'm in two minds about this as on the one hand it is nothing to do with my arrangement with clientco, and on the other I don't want to seem obstructive / unhelpful / belligerent. What does the esteemed panel think?

[MrMarkyMark]

Give him bad feed back, sub someone else in, make a few extra bob, jobs a good 'un.

HTH

The new bag with PRD's is peer review, had this at a client where one of the permies has to ask others working on their project with them for feedback. No qualms doing it as I liked the permie in question, just made sure you add a few buzz words like supplier/third-party etc to make sure you stand out from another permie

Or just politely decline, pointing out that you're not a permie so shouldn't be involved in that sort of thing.

A 5 minute job that can help you develop extra goodwill with a client is always my sort of thing

The appraisal is being conducted by another external consultancy, the subject of it is their permanent employee who is engaged at my clientco.

Send them an invoice for your time then

[VectraMan]

Ask for a new contract with this explicitly mentioned as a deliverable.

Only way to be sure.

Look, if you just say he is crap, they won't want to proceed
