WOW - just WOW. I am in shock.

I was just handed back my 45-day review from my boss, in writing, and it's pretty negative. He wrote that I am not meeting the expectations of a Manager, in essence, and then criticized me throughout the review on a few tasks he highlighted as being problematic to the company. He didn't include anything about one huge task I had completed that I had done well and to the company's satisfaction! He only focused on what I had trouble with.

AND, he pointed out that I had pushed back on a task that I had been uncomfortable doing. Initially, when given this task, he had written to me "if you feel comfortable rewriting these...:" and I told him that I didn't feel comfortable with it. But instead of including that part in his review, he said I pushed back on the task.

You know what this is? It's a set up to fire me, I feel. They are documenting it in writing that I am not meeting their expectations, and I am FUMING right now. I try really hard at work to do the best job that I can - but when they give me impossible tasks that are beyond my skill level, what am I supposed to do?????? It's a set up for failure, is what that is.

What a way to make me feel even more uncomfortable now at work. I know they're just trying to get rid of me at this point. It's now in black and white writing. So, just fire me then and let me collect unemployment!

I am FUMING!!!!
