Thanks. That's the thing, I am diligent and work very hard, I'd say from everything I see, F is too. It's just that the nature of what we do makes it hard to make a target that is, quite honestly, arbitrary.

I mean I deal constantly with one of the countries that is the most complicated, because I am fluent in the language. My boss isn't, and it's not really her area of expertise, so with very little help, I taught myself how public contracting works in that country, how the courts that regulate these projects function, etc. I also help co-workers by making calls there since they don't speak the language. But, it seems like those sorts of things are less valued than the almighty numbers.

If she were to fire F, given her track record, would whoever she hired to replace her be better? Probably not, given all the people that have cycled through.

I am nervous about what to say. I mean, I thought I was prepared to essentially defend myself, bring up cases that showed where I worked hard, but it took a while to find all the information, to demonstrate the quality of information I produce. That is what I am feeling gets lost in all the focus on numbers and not quality.

However that did not work for F AT ALL! So I feel like it's back to square one.
