Yeah. For the lazy manager. My next to last job ALWAYS took your self-review and downgraded it. Always.
It was like “fuck, I should just say I’m the fucking second coming because y’all will just lie anyway”.
@feloneouscat So someone who doesn't really know me & the team will likely be doing our reviews. SO helpful, that.
@feloneouscat Yeah we get "merit" increases at ever performance evaluation. How much we get varies by how we score - "solid performer" gets less than "lead performer", etc. But they're not really merit increases at all, because only the highest level - "top performer" - gets what amounts to a COL increase.
Yeah, good reason to look elsewhere.
@feloneouscat Yeah. I'm totally burned out, too. On partial LOA right now dealing with... stuff. I love my team & I love my work & I'm just about DONE with my employer.
@Impious_Jade
That’s just wrong.
I worked for 45 years and I’ve seen mangament go downhill. You USED to get cost of living raises.
Now that isn’t even though of. It’s like whatever you were hired in at was your forever-salary.
And I’m an engineer. So bizarre.
