I'm gonna go off on a rant here, but I'm not going to feel bad about it. I just had my first annual review at my job and received a score of "fully proficient." This is a bit of a let down for me. I'm choosing my words carefully.I'm fucking irate. I am so angry that I feel like a kid who wanted a bike for Christmas and got a bunch of new underwear. Fuck. Fully proficient? Are you serious?
Every monkey that punches a clock at this place scores "fully proficient." I wanted and thought I achieved the coveted "exceeds expectations" status as a first year employee. I can't throw a tantrum. I can't whine or bitch. I have to smile, say thanks and take it in the tank. Fuck.
I work with a bunch of great people, but lets face it, not too many of them are pushing the limits of marketing with their cutting edge posters and brochures. I brought new media to this agency to the point where the marketing manager presented a Power Point on the subject (that I wrote for her, nonetheless). Fully proficient? Fully cutting edge I would counter.
I tackled old people, young people and one very angry middle aged women. Add all the hoops I jumped through just to get here and I think I did an exceptional job. I am so mad I could spit fucking nails through the wall. I can't really call bullshit on two bosses who are smiling when they say this, but how is it that I'm the one with all the projects and the rest of the team is going on vacation? Fuck.
You got a raise, right? Sure, I got a raise. I got the token 3.3% raise that everyone gets. But let me fill you in on something: I'm not everyone. I am a marketing fucking machine. If you can't keep up, then maybe I'll pack up. This is bullshit. Fully proficient. Eat it.

Huh! You gonna here me out on this one now. I work 5-2am for the last 1.5yrs making these shitty fukin toilet flushers. Ive Come in early to cover 2nd shift supervisor when her 300lb ass cant make it in numerous times. And cover the third shift numerous times and come back in early to work second.Soo.. I got my review in Oct 1.8% raise! FUCK OFF! Ohh yeah I didnt mention that my Co-worker was writing my review with my boss the day it was due and I busted them. My boss cant read,write or speak english clearly. I kept my mouth shut and carried on because I knew I was gonna bounce soon. I almost told him to keep it and give it to the illegal people working for $7.80 out back..

The best part is ISO tard's are coming in next week and I accidently am not gonna finish the paper work crap that needs to be done for the boss..UHHHHHHH Yeahhhh Bitch!
Well, hey, at least your boss didn't tell you that, despite the fact that you got so many unsolicited compliments that they didn't even have to seek coworker feedback and you kicked ass at every single evaluation category, you once (allegedly) rolled your eyes and sighed and therefore have "negative body language issues." Also that you have "quality of work" issues because your personal desk is cluttered. It's like I never got past the fourth grade.
Fucking jobs. At least they're only what we do and not who we are. Right?
