Got the results from my annual performance review!
Temporarily pinning this to my profile since we've re-entered performance review season and my company's performance review system won't let me respond with a photo.
I actually had my annual performance review today and I am happy to report that I am actually a good worker, in spite of all of my shenanigans.
@Alice Did they say what the expectation was though? 😅
@davep Not sure. I’m just a personality hire.
@Alice My trick has always been to work hard during the year to keep expectations low.
@Alice I HATE those things... having to rate yourself in advance, then the manager rates you, then you have a meeting where you discuss the ratings...
Fortunately, I have a GREAT manager.

@Alice

I hope they give you a fat raise Slice!

@Alice 🥳🙌 now I want that for my epitaph 😂

@Alice Holy shit - "Exceeds Expectations" is like the holy grail of review scores these days for any large company. Management tries so hard to not document people deserving a raise.

Congrats!

@Alice I did once get "Exceeds Expectorations" but that was because I spit a lot.
@Alice
Good thing they never mentioned that calamitous ORTBO
@Alice I celebrated that moment when I was ejected from my #HiEd job, by slowly feeding fifteen years worth of “Exceptional Performance” reviews and my “Congratulations on Ten Years of Service” award into the crosscut shredder at home. It felt amazing. Took a long time to start forgetting all that pain and trauma. But it helped me get to where I am, so it’s fine. My current job doesn’t bother with evaluations. LOL.
@Alice nice one, I got mine too!
@Alice Best way to approach a job. Don't waste your best on a corporation.
@Alice always wound up and often just hangs around.
@Alice
Is that from your cat?
@Alice better than being super bright but not working. That's a solid "meets expectations"!
@Alice Mine just had the second part
@Alice Right there with you.
@Alice I don’t want to boost this because I don’t want to support you beating yourself up, but it is funny. ❤️
@LoganFive I’m not REALLY beating myself up. I’m a great worker! I just saw those Christmas lights and accompanying sign on the curb and decided to make a dumb joke about it.

@Alice @LoganFive no worries, I boosted.

(Me too, Xmas lights, me too)

@Alice Sure it is not your company’s mission statement?
@Alice An apt summary of my life
@Alice good one!  I saw the 2nd post first, actually
