I don't know what it's like in other Groups, but my work is constantly criticized without any direction for improvement. The best I get is ok this is fine and receive no mentoring. I don't know if my work is that bad and I need to switch careers or it's just this particular person's style. I'm not averse to criticism, but I would appreciate feedback to know how to improve or do it in a way that won't garner criticism. There are other people I could go to for assistance but was told not to and should go to him for anything. Anytime I've taken initiative and do something it isn't well received so now I do exactly what I'm told and how I'm told to do it; no more and no less. Raises are kind of arbitrary and really depend on how much your Group leaders want to push for you when they all get together to determine the ladder.
