had the weirdest review at work today

[JackieOnLine]

for course I was all wound up about it - they set such high productivity standards nobody can meet them without working off the clock - and there is a lot of other corporate BS going on.:bs:

meanwhile, my immediate supervisor is also overworked. she did my review at 2:30 this afternoon after telling me she was on overtime since 10AM yesterday and hadn't had a chance to eat all day. "you need protein!" I told her, as she snarfed a banana down in-between questions.

so - she was exhausted and it made her all punchy instead of grumpy. :bounce: thank goodness!

she said it won't make any difference in if I get a raise or not but, anyway, she said some nice things about me and just generally made me feel good.

glad it's over!! but what a waste of everyone's time....

Glad you survived it, Jackie...even tho it's not your most favorite of jobs...it is a paycheck.

my coworkers, including our supervisor, is what makes it bearable.

and - every now and then! - we actually help someone and that feels good.

It sucks that business is set up to work the life out of a few employees until they burn out, rather than hire enough people to do the work they know needs doing. Must have something to do with this corporate personhood. Spit.

 

[JackieOnLine]

it does suck - it's all short-term thinking, never long term.

I've missed you! are you still active on the chicken forum?
