deannawolOkay, today I seem to be the only one out of three people in work. And when I was leaving last night there was no talk of the second one not being in today, cause we can't work from home. On top of that, this whole performance review thing has me majorly spooked. Especially as I have a working week to prove myself after a 3 month period where nothing was said.
What drives me nuts is that for all intents and purposes it is a case of double standards. The other guy working with me is the boss's son. He doesn't have to look for work, his dad comes out to tell him what to do. I however have to go looking for it.
As well as that, I was just about to tell my boss yesterday that no ... i didn't have enough work for today cause well, its 11 now and I'm pretty much finished it. I sent my boss an email about 45 minutes ago and got a dismissive I'm kinda busy now, will talk to you later. On top of that, I messaged him at about 9 to tell him stuff but got no answer to just before I mailed him, cause his volumn was off. The bloody thing has a popup feature that I know he has turned on and it flashes at the bottom of the screen. It doesn't get more obvious! But we can't talk like that about the boss.
So even though I have all my work done for the day or will in about 30 minutes, I have to wait again and leave myself open to more comments along the lines of not working, not doing enough work, not taking ownership of projects. I know more abuot the fucking projects than him cause I pay attention and meet all my deadlines and even help the business manager to test them, but no ... its not fair to expect to be treated the same as anyone else. I have to work harder and faster and more than everyone else it seems.
Oh well, back to testing pointless things that I know will work ...
Thank god I am meeting friends after work today ... otherwise I would go spare!
