This I gotta hear. My boss just swears at me, these days. If I stopped being effective for 10 minutes, he'd fire my ass.

annual review? more like "anal revue", amirite?

He just called me and said, "I'm pushing it back 15 minutes because I need more coffee before I deal with you." and then he slammed the phone down.
I love my job. :)
Oh jesus. You DO have some sort of indemnity clause, though, IIRC?
:lulz: The key here is being so good at your job that they can't justify holding back your raise/firing you no matter how badly they may wish they could.
Ofuck.. :lulz:

Yep. Only a couple of years ago, he was a cheerful, optimistic man, who made a genuine effort to like everyone. Now his hair is all gray, at age 50.
I love this place. :)

I am, I am told, a horrible person. I am a bad example for the crew, and I don't believe in the things I am supposed to believe in.
My boss is not an uber-patriot, you understand...he doesn't follow politics. But he believes in mom and apple pie and the basic goodness of the American system and of people in general. Then he runs into a
veteran who laughs at these things, and makes horrible jokes about them, and he can't process it.
You see, he expected ME to be an uber-patriot, because I served, and he hates when I say shit that makes him look at things (mostly not political, mostly at the motivations of people around him) in a way he'd rather not see, and he's too honest of a man to not accept a horrible truth or three...but he hates me for it, and he wishes I'd just stay in my building. But when I do, he's afraid I'm plotting something vile, like the bathroom incident of last spring.
Add to that the stresses of running a high maintenance refinery in this economy, and my jolliness about doom, and you get what we have today.

So he makes it all too easy on ya, and he's a decent guy all around. Poor guy has dug his own grave.
But on the flipside...he's not an impediment for ya, either!

Actually, I really like the guy, which is why I try to help him.
TGRR,
Spiritual advisor to Big Oil.
So I go into his office, and he just sits there staring at me and twitching for 2 minutes. Two full minutes, before he says a word.
Maybe he has that petite mal siezure thingie or something.
Or myabe it's just victory.
I...
I think I have a new hero.
Please to post end results. This I gotta hear. (I bet you score high on the technical end, that's what kills them)
Also: my review is at the end of the month. Maybe I'll start bugging them about it now. My boss hates it when I acknowledge her.
It's funny. Right before I read this thread my Director e-mailed me the protocol she'll be using to review my performance in January. A shot across the bow I suppose. I too hope to learn from this.

What killed him was that the review was excellent. Technically, I was at about 95% (budget nailed me for 5%). The interpersonal part was a little rockier. Apparently, I do not play well with others.
As a result of having to give me a damn good review, the stress caused him to act like Inspector Cleusau (sp?)'s boss in the Pink Panther movies.
Only without the bigass death ray. :(
HA!
I knew it.
In some what backwardsly related news: We just started an "engagement"* survey here at work. When we took it 3 years ago we were worst in the nation. This year we are going for worst in the entire corporation!

Today, my boss explained that he doesn't hate me. He just "wishes I lived in another country".

Not in like the gross touchy-feely kind of way or anything.
Just, you know.
We could invade Poland like everyone else does. It could be renamed "Rogland".

Yes, I know. You are all freaks, and I am your beloved king.
But what I really need is some of that gross touchy-feely stuff. Kitchen impliments should be required, and I think that everyone involved should take some Cipro BEFORE we start, as a precaution. I believe I shall order a tanker truck of that astro-glide stuff. Perhaps two.
Bring your own neck-braces, peasants! It's time to
