Work Confusion

[lynx212]

It's employee and employer review time at my workplace and some of you know the issues I have had there. It has not gotten any better.

Question four was "What do you like least about working here?" and I was honest... a page and a half worth of honesty.

Long story short, the one woman that likes to talk down to and be snide with anyone she feels like was overheard talking to me like that by the owner of the company while my direct supervisor was out. I talked to him, he talked to my boss and my actual review in the conference room is today.

The confusion comes in at her asking me yesterday if I want to "rewrite" my review. I don't understand this question. There isn't anything in there I want to take back but the real conundrum is why this question is being posed to me in the first place. Any one of you guys have any Human Resources experience out there? Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

I don't know about HR, but in the criminal system that question is usually asked when a statement is about to get someone in serious trouble. The witness/victim is sometimes asked this question (something along the lines of 'Do you want to change your statement?')before formal proceedings commence.

Was just them not wanting a spot on there elsewise pretty little files of reviews. LOL me and this place will not last long

What a load of crap. Find something before you quit, though. It's much sweeter to tell them to shove it when you have someplace better to be.

LOL I like the way you think my dear.

This is probably VERY late; but I had a manager that made my life a living hell at Wall-Mart. At the time the place I worked at didn't have enough tellers to check people out with their purchases, so if they were short handed they'd call people up from departments and they even made a list of the days when people had to leave their departments and teller for the whole day.

Well she complained to the managers that I wasn't doing my job in shoes, but how could I when I had managers telling me that I had to go up and cashier? Long story short, she was just a total bitch and got me fired.

I am not saying that's what's gonna happen to you. You tell her that when review time comes up people need to stop their agenda's and be honest. If you don't acknowledge there is a problem in the work place, you can't fix it. She probably doesn't even know how rude she is talking to you. If that's something that needs to be fixed, than ya'll need to fix it.

I don't know how it'll go for ya, but I hope all goes well. Good luck. *hugs*

Wasn't late at all.

They won't fire me but I will leave. There is nothing to keep me here other than me enjoying the work. I can't move up there isn't the potential there for that and my wage id barely decent so no real draw for me to stay other than me enjoying working there... with that gone...

I am glad. And I understand.
And everyone says not to quit until you have another job, but I think you should do what's right for you. You need to fulfill your own needs for a time.

Ok so this is days late, but I agree with what you said above, and then some. My partner gets this when he's honest on similar forms. Essentially it's an attempt to intimidate him into not drawing attention to issues so that they don't have to act on it. "Are you sure that's what you want to say? No, I mean, but are you really sure?" etc. Glad you didn't cave.X

I'm glad I didn't cave too... I am at the end of the line with this job. UGH


*hugs on you*
