Life sucks …
… but some things suck more.
Last week I had a little discussion with my manager.
At the core of it there was some “mobbing” from one of my coworkers.
What the argument boiled down to ?
My boss told me that - due to my health problem - I was working only to 75% of what I was capable of the years before.
Due to this I only did my work.
I didn’t help out others with their work.
So the others didn’t finish their work.
And the schedule slipped.
Now wait a second!
I did my work. They didn’t.
I usually can do 150% of the average Joe here at the office.
The other guy usually can do about 80% of Joe.
Right now I’m doing 75% of 150% … so that’s around 110% of Joe.
The other guy does 100% of 80% … so that’s around 80% of Joe.
Now that’s fine. Not everbody can excel.
But … my boss warned me that my rating will be not that good this year.
Urgs … one moment.
Just to keep things simple.
Jack is a A-Student and brings home a B(+) … is allowance is cut by his dad.
John is a D-Student and brings home a C … his allowance is doubled by his dad.
Did I mention:
They started exactly at the same allowance.
They are brothers.
Yes, all of us who have little brothers/sisters have been there.
But this is a manager … he earns a living by making the right decisions.
And it’s not even that I don’t want to do the 150% I used to do.
And simply can’t reach them anymore.
Getting past 70% is giving me horrible pain.
I just to it since I feel I get paid 100% so I should reach that.
Well, life sucks…
