Bunny's Stuffie Corner

My contractor review with the manager and owner is scheduled for December 16th. I am dreading what they might say. I have such a complex about my ability to do this job. I'm always waiting for the other shoe to fall and for everyone to figure out that I suck.

You don't suck.

What Azul said!!!
... and that shoe's NOT gonna drop!

 

[cascadiabound]

You don't suck.

Just do the job. They hired you, I am sure you are doing fine and you definitely do not suck.

 

[Azuldrgon]

Ya know Bunny. I get it.
It's like a conditioned response.
Been there. Thing is you're due.
And you have people pushing the good karma train in your direction .
You gained the opportunity because they feel you can do it.
*sending more positive vibes in your direction*

 

[BiBunny]

Thanks, guys!

Agh, the “imposter syndrome” is strong with you. .

Truthfully I don’t know if you’re good at your job, but my experience is that people who express what you just expressed, generally aren’t.

The self doubt as much as it sucks to feel, helps you be really great for a lot of reasons not least of which is because you obviously care. The secret of course is to keep it at a healthy level, remind yourself of all the positive things that have been said to you over the years, accept that people don’t say this stuff if they don’t believe it and above all remember to be kind to yourself.

This concludes my Ted Talk.

Please let us know how it went.

Well, I got my first impromptu review sprung on me today. I didn't think I was doing half bad, but I guess I was wrong. That was demoralizing af, and now I don't even want to continue my shift.

Who did your review and how was it delivered?... Was it "constructive criticism" or simply berating you?

The owner and the manager. The manager at least said she thought I was doing great. The owner made me feel like I can't do anything right.

You know how generally, in a review, they tell you what you're doing right AND what you're doing wrong? I got told everything that was wrong, and all I got for the "doing right" part was, "Thank you for not missing any shifts." Which, when combined with "your blogs are vanilla and boring, you don't follow the script correctly, and you're not enthusiastic enough in chat" sounds like "you suck, but at least you show up, I guess."

I suggest that you not take it to "personal" and just try to adjust...
There's ALWAYS a learning curve in any new job...
Regardless, DON'T beat yourself up over it, as that won't do anyone any good... especially YOU!

Some people really suck at doing reviews. This sounds like such a person

Yep. I feel like I've done my best, and I got shit on, anyway.

Honestly, though, the owner doesn't have a lot of involvement with the company. The manager does all the day-to-day stuff, and she said I was doing great. So I'm gonna try to remember that and not think about someone who believes nobody can do anything right.

Sorry to hear that, I hate it when people are surprised it’s the shittiest thing from a manager

 

[BiBunny]

I have done nearly 700 minutes in 3 days.

I'm exhausted. But I could cry because I always thought the reason I never made good money was that I wasn't good enough. But apparently, the problem was location, rather than skill.

I have tomorrow and Wednesday off, and I will need every minute of them to recover from all the talking I've been doing. I did 348 minutes yesterday alone.

I'm not bragging, y'all. I'm just genuinely shocked.

Sending in a squirrel stuffieteer to put the management to the stuffiesword

Ye squirrels of Mars, come list to me,
And I will relate to ye
A great and heroic squirrel musketeer fight,
Which will fill your stuffies and hearts with day to day stuffie delight.

(after William Topaz McGonagall - the worst poet ever)

There are so many stuffies everywhere for the holidays, and that makes me so happy.

It's great to see you happy!

Thank you!

Not good for my bank account or my house that's already packed full of stuff, though. I want one of all of them!

 

[Boat1]

Nothing wrong with spoiling yourself!
Enjoy!

Bunny, ignore the static from the naysayers. You only have to meet your own goals.

Sage advice. I concur fully!

So I got my check for the week I screwed up my pay. They didn't knock me down to the lowest pay scale, after all, thank God. I don't know why not, or if it was a mistake, but I'm gonna take the money and keep my mouth shut, lol.

They came to work on all the stuff that's wrong in my bathroom yesterday and today. Hopefully, it'll be finished today, but at the moment, they're redoing the floor, and my toilet is sitting in my bathtub, lol.
