Relatedly: in my experience, junior people wildly overestimate the extent to which senior people form confident and sticky negative evaluations of them. I basically never form a confident negative impression of someone’s competence from a single interaction with them, and I place pretty substantial probability on people changing substantially over the course of a year or two.
I think that many people perform very differently in different job situations. When someone performs poorly in a job, I usually only update mildly against them performing well in a different role.
I agree with a lot of this post.
