Danish working culture: Not much positive feedback from the boss #howtoliveindenmark #danishculture

Hi, I'm Kay Xander Mellish, visiting the Copenhagen Post. You know, a lot of internationals have told me they're worried that things are not going well on the job because they never get any positive feedback from their Danish manager. I've had people even tell me, I thought I was gonna get fired, and then I went to my annual meeting and I got a promotion and a raise, but they never told me I was doing a good job. Praise and bragging are not really a part of Danish culture. You don't even hear people bragging about their children, And that carries over into the workplace. If you want to know if you're doing a good job, you may need to put a 15-minute meeting into your manager's calendar once every 2 or 3 months. Ask her if she's happy and if you're doing everything the job requires.
