Boss: Why is your work only 80% complete?

Me: Oh, yes! There’s a very good explanation for that.

In my last performance review, you noted that I was exceeding all expectations, but that you were only giving me a 4 out of 5 because you “never give 5s” because “there’s always room for improvement.”

As a result, I’ve taken the initiative to deliver at 4/5 capacity to ensure I’m performing according to your expectations.

As we’ve already established, I’m easily capable of performing at and above 100%, so please let me know once you’ve adjusted my performance rating to a 5 and I will adjust my performance accordingly.

@Alice How did your boss take it? 😆
They don't deserve you and I hope you get a better job and a better boss.
@LoganFive Haha it’s just a joke. My current boss is incredible. This is really based on how I wish I would have responded to receiving that feedback in the past.
@Alice @LoganFive people in my area leave online reviews for products like this. like bitch what room for improvement is there in a fucking toothbrush just give it a 5 if it did its job lol.
@AlkaVirus @Alice @LoganFive Who rates toothbrushes? There's no point unless it somehow has a huge defect.
@AlkaVirus @Alice @LoganFive I'd rather it for products than for people
Idgaf what people rate a toothbrush but if your gig worker did their job give them 5 stars or I'll give them your kneecaps (/j don't call the cops pls)
