keep your expectations low and you will not be let down
But if you expect others to treat you the way you treat them you are in for a surprise.
I have always worked hard, never been rude to a customer, always offered help to people in and outside of my team, I do thinkgs daily that will not benefit me in any way shape or form so in the end I expect that my DPR ( a review a bit like your annual school report) will reflect my efforts. Could do better.
The report I got in advance of my interview for the managers role was not great. OK it was beyond not great, it was insulting. I might be a little fragile on this topic but please, people across corporate desk come to me for assistance on revenue so telling me I need a better understanding of revenue as I don't understand it at the moment is like waving that middle digit nice and high.
There were other comments about time management (I am never later and frequently do work in evenings and weekends to get further ahead) and that I needed to develop my coaching skills (even though i spend half my time explaining things to other people) so I contested it.
Waste of time, maybe they were right about time management afterall. if I had the sense I wouldn't have bothered as I was just told that he had only met me twice, had managed me for just a short time (6 months for which I was off sick 3 months) and he had no evidence to the contrary that I was good with revenue and coaching.
He will poke his eye out if he keeps waving that finger.
The biggest joke of all was the bottom of my report where it says that LIZ is happy with her ratings. I think it's pretty obvious that he just changed the names throughout the rest of the report and forgot that section. Moron.
While I'm ranting I'm just going to say that Tom forgot it was my birthday next week and said we would spend his one day off at his nan's and cook her lunch. Which roughly translates to Rachel gets to do the ironing, then cook lunch, make friendly small talk before doing the dishes, while tom sleeps on the sofa and Beryl watches TV.
Again, after 7 birthdays together should I really be surprised, I think I have had 2 cards over the years one of which he has never actually written in because he always forgets. I love you too, till death do us part.
