It is just like life, we all got to deal with them. Been a good while since I had one of those and the last one I got was as yours, " meets expectations" I turned in notice and never looked back.. I did work till I was 68, thought I had to, now I know I wasted several good years..
Just grin and bear it. Smile and look ahead.. knowing that Boss #2 has to answer to some one!!! maybe he is in the same boat
Just be safe, stay warm, although we almost got spring here this week.........

I've never understood the review process and how it's supposed to do anything other than annoy the piss out of the reviewee! If your boss is happy with your work and sings your praises to your face, then how the hell is "achieving expectations" supposed to convey that? Were they severely curtailed in the number of adjectives they could use in the review process? Achieving expectations makes it sound like you do the bare minimum to get the job done and then just....stop. You've met expectations, so why do more???
Assholes.....

Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

I have experience with rating systems similar to achieving expectations. Exceeding expectations in my systems required that you had goals that could be achieved in that category. For example, employee retention for 1 year is over 90% to exceed expectations, with 80 to 90 being the achieving expectation.

That said, I am not sure that retention is solely your responsibility unless it is for the employees that you directly supervise. I can see that if you are making job offers that you have a part of retention, but what happens when a supervisor and an employee do not come anywhere near the loose mesh needed to keep the employee?

And how about an update on the woman that you hired recently that had the positive attitude amid setbacks that left both parents jobless?

I came back from lunch today to discover Joey staring very intently at me and Phoebe looking off in disgust.

I laughed so hard I was certain I was going to piss my pants.

God help me.... But I love those fucking googly eyes!

This may very well be my new thing.... I'm going to have to buy myself some googly eyes.

In other news...

I had my quarterly self review with Boss #2 today.

Ugh...

I think you all know from previous posts just how MUCH I love those things! I can't think of anything more rewarding than discussing my ability to manage ambiguity and facilitate communication during the trying times of a pandemic!

I managed to exceed every metric for training, hiring, and retention that I was being held accountable for...

so of course I only got a rating of 'Achieving Expectations' for my review.

I love it when your boss sits there and sings your praise and thanks you for all the amazing things you do for everyone each and every day and then slaps you in the face with....

Achieving Expectations.

That whole... 'There's no room for improvement' philosophy is bullshit.

I'm just going to leave it at that.

Happy Thursday!
