note to self
Clearly, yes, people can be morons. People can be mind-numbingly dense and so, so slow to catch on that one really wonders how on earth they got to be where they are, who encouraged them, how they chose this, and why. But yes, of course, it happens. and there's noting to be done about it now, and nothing to be done about it by me. but being passive-aggressive and bitchy about it is not going to suddenly make them smart, so suck it up, dumbass. They're only making me look better, more helpful, compassionate, adaptable, widely skilled, et c. (And the better i look, the more flexible work is going to be in return when i come back and am a parent and want different, funky hours every week and a half; so, this is really, really, really in my best interest. So, again, suck it up.)

Interestingly, i got a look at the standard six-monthly employee review sheet, which is essentially identical to the one-month new-hire review sheet. There are four categories for everything, and i'm paraphrasing out of necessity, but not inaccuarately, because i was kind of shocked, and so they stuck in my head (and, yes, they were in english, so this is not an interpretation):
  1. Needs improvement.
  2. Gets some requested things included in job description done, to a point where they do not have to be completely redone, and does not require absolutely constant supervision.
  3. Gets most things requested or included in job description done, fairly presentably, and appears to have the capacity to work independently in certain areas.
  4. Gets everything requested and included in job description done, and done well, independently.
And apparently being in Category Four is not such a common thing? Holy fuck, my work ethic sucks hard, but still, i can't imagine getting only "some" of my job description done properly, and especially not needing improvement if i did. is this supposed to be motivational? Or, by virtue of doing the things i said i could do when they hired me, am i going to be promoted to running the company in a year or three?

as an extra perk, having a good boss, and being appreciated by said boss, is delicious.
