Good morning, Karen and buddies! I can't stick around long this morning. Gotta get to work on time for a change. I had my yearly evaluation yesterday and scored a 9 out of 10; however, my boss mentioned my coming in late every day (8:05 a.m.) and asked me to try to work on that. My argument is: I do come in a few minutes late almost every day; however, I go straight to my desk and get to work. Others in my department spend the first 30 minutes to an HOUR chit-chatting, along with several other breaks to chat during the day. Which is worse?? Seems to me like I'm more productive! :( Of course, I didn't say that. I just said, "OK, I'll work on that." UGH! I am such a spineless wuss! I did get a 2.25% raise for this year though.

Have a happy day, everybuddy!

That's so unfair, isn't it?

Cindy, 8:05 seems like an awful early start and when I managed a team of six people, I never held lateness against them, as long as their work attitude and levels of enthusiasm and output were right. We were a happy team!

It does look like your boss was searching round for something to point out, but your raise and high grade are excellent! Well done, and it's good news for the year ahead, which is going to be the best ever...

Good morning, buddies! Karen, you made me laugh -- two year ago, I gave up caffeine cold turkey (I was a six-espresso-made-in-a-Gaggia every day woman before that) and for two weeks, I thought I was going to die. Have a great day everyone!

Good morning every buddie!


Just started my new hours today, 7:00am-4:30pm, with every other friday off. Nine hour days, with the Friday that I work being only 8. Sounds worth it to me!!!


Anyway, where I was going with that is I NEED COFFEE TOO!


Hugs,

9 out of 10 is FABULOUS!! You realize it's your boss's job to find fault (does anyone ever get 10 out of 10? I find that doubtful!)...and if that's all he could come up with, well, then I'd say he was just trying to justify not giving you a perfect score!! Congrats on the great rating and the raise. BTW, I do NOT think you are a wuss for not arguing with him or for not being defensive; you took the high road and I applaud that! Arguing would have made you look silly.


Have a wonderful day, Cindy!!
