Had a chat with one of the SVPs about my performance evaluation last week.
Turns out one of the dings against me was because one of my direct reports did the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I (and others) told him to do.
Assuming everyone who doesn't show up in R1, this leaves the following to survive the series:
Ando
Krennic
Saw
Mon
Everyone else is gonna die. Get your shocked face ready.
What did Williams do to become more competitive?
I read they’re devoting their resources to the 2026 car. So the current car is basically the same as last year’s right?
Took the kids bouldering and climbing (with rope) today. For whatever reason, my kids are good at it and always up for the challenge.
There was one rock face where my daughter got to the top, albeit it took her a while. My boy climbed that like a mountain goat.
To some teenagers, a hole is a hole.
I was never that type of teenager. I was patiently waiting for a 10…
Then I lowered my standards and ehh… 7s are okay too.
Had my performance evaluation earlier this week. It was the lowest “grade” I’ve ever gotten in my career.
I admit that there were some things that I could have done better, but my other contributions were mostly overlooked. When I brought it up and said “it’s on the right side of the page where I put it in my self assessment” my manager looked at it and said “oh”
Having a direct report that regularly blew up at everyone didn’t help my cause.
It’s been bugging me since. I’m not pissed, just kinda depressed at this point. My entire career I’ve gotten good to great reviews so this was a kick in the nuts. I have a lunch scheduled with one of the SVPs to get his take.
Fuck it. Gonna drink some more Japanese whisky.
BTW, Nikka From The Barrel is delicious and a steal at $60,
Someone at my office has been stealing my food.
I keep a stash of Trader Joe’s frozen food in the office freezer as a last resort. I had 10 minutes between meetings and went to the fridge. At least 2 of the items were gone. I mean, really?
Why did I wait 'til today to buy boxed, organic, pre-washed baby spinach salad for $6, instead of spending the same amount for 2 little bunches that I have to clean and wash and chop?
