In 40 years of working ... I've had no job reviews (think ministry) ... I've never had a bad job review ... but only several times what I would call a great job review.
ReplyDeleteI've been fortunate to never be laid off or out of work. I have had times when I was laid low by my accident (11 weeks hospitalized) and 3 other times out on short term disability (back surgery, and C-Diff twice). But I have had continuous paychecks for my entire career.
I was really nervous about my review yesterday ... but it actually turned out to be a good review. Better than I deserved.
I also should add .. to the Lord be the praise for His provisions!
ReplyDeleteMy last job review (Dec. 2012) I turned into a resignation notice. My boss knew it was possible I was leaving, so before starting the review he said "Before we start, can you tell me if there's even a point?"
ReplyDeleteI ended up getting a counter-offer to stay (which I turned down), which I took as a sign my review would have been at least ok! :)
