So, to be fair, I am done with my ability to get a raise. I am at the top of my pay grade and no matter how I do.. I won't get a raise. The only thing I can hope for is a cash award ($50).
So, it clearly it is in management's best interest to give me a good review and keep me motivated. But, for the first time ever I got all 100% - exceeds expectations. The write up was also quite good and made me feel good. Back in February there was a tricky issue that I had tried to bring to several people's attention and mostly got blown off. So I went to my boss and asked him what he knew and he didn't know anything so he said put it in an email. I did my usual through job and flagged the issue that could have been disastrous and sent it off never thinking a thing about it. But the memo made it to the Chief before my boss and she was very grateful for the flag and the through explanation. She nipped the issue in the bud. With the virus I had totally forgotten about it - but this made it to my review. This makes me feel good because I had an abusive boss for 14 years. He put road blocks to my doing well and always try to say I was a moron. (but he set me up constantly) But I listened and paid attention and now all of his knowledge is within me and I use it to make myself and my new boss look good. So it makes me feel good that without the abusive boss I have been able to do better and better and show them all it was the abusive boss that was the problem. I used to always says that living well is the best revenge and rewriting the story of my competency is the best revenge. In addition my current boss used to be "one of us" so he knows the ropes of my job and it is clear knowing that.. he can evaluate me properly. Prior managers didn't know these things. But honestly, I have to figure out how to draw it back a little. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
