rocket 0 #26 March 23, 2004 Unfortunately, I have a boss, the VP, who is a "diamond caliber" tightass. They gauge the raises by need not performance, I have learned. Shit, I had my annual review finally after a year and a half, and it was me that asked about my performance. They did not initiate the review. All the discussion was about was hiring new people and our lack of jobs won at this moment. And that by having this situation, that I will not receive the bonus I deserve at that moment. That is until we win some jobs. That is how I got from where I was to the question I posed. They know about my lifestyle, but from now on I am not discussing it at all at work. I have learned my lesson. "Make your plans dark and as inpenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt" -Sun Tsu rocket Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 235 #27 March 23, 2004 Hey, move to D.C. We're all very busy. Think of it this way. He perceives that your job there is only to fuel your obvious addiction to skydiving. That your ambitions lie in skydiving, not in architecture. I work in an engineering/arch office so I know the attitude. There was this guy who used to work for us. He was very much into being a DJ in his free time. So much so that there were always records arriving at the office for him. He talked about this so much that, even though he was a competent engineer, it was thought that he had little interest in his job other than to fuel his sideline. So...why give him a raise if he won't see it as reward for his good work but just more money he can sink into his hobby? If you don't make it clear to your superior that you're truly interested in career advancement and if you don't challege their perceptions of you then they'll continue in their ignorane. Now, it sounds like your company has more problems at hand, so like I said above, move to D.C."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
