God, I hate self-evaluations.
I am so far behind at work, and it looks to be a permanent situation. I'm trying to dig in and start working hard to catch up, but my brain is stuck in "Fuck it" mode and my soul has wandered off to play with the old dolls I found in the back of a closet last night. If my managers "don't care about typos" anymore, what am I doing here? I'm not an editor anymore, I'm just pushing virtual paper around. And I don't even care. It's a decent job, so what if I'm sick of it? I'll find joy elsewhere and stop caring any more than they pay me to. Oh, hey, look what's on eBay.
Question about Facebook for those of you who use it often.
I have an account under my real name, and I have, like 20 friends on it. I rarely update it, and it's a mix of mostly RL people (including my father, for Pete's sake) and a few scattered fannish folks. Sometimes I go weeks without signing on.
I usually tend to be fairly CHURCH / STATE (in the original meaning, not the mess that's going on in US politics right now) in my work / non-work life. Anyway, I work in academics, and one of our trainees sent me a friend request a few weeks ago. He's a nice guy, but I am in a position to EVALUATE him on his work and it just feels inappropriate for me to his "friend" in his facebook, y'know? I mean, I know some people treat FB pretty casually and have fleeting acquaintances or their bosses and coworkers in their circle, but that's not for me.
Anyway, I just should have sent him a polite email back then explaining my position, but now, I've basically ignored the request for several weeks and I see this guy on a daily basis. It seems awkward even bring it up now. I should... just ignore the whole thing and the awkwardness would go away, right? Because Conflict-Avoidant is my middle name.
Just keep ignoring it. He has no way of knowing how often you log in, and if he asks you about it (which would be TACKY), you can say that you are busy, and you keep your FB friends list very small.
you ready for this?
Employers are now asking for last year's W-2 form.

so they can pay you as little as possible.
Refrained from killin' folks. Even those who needed it.
(No, that's Raylan's performance plan. My bad.)
Vonnie, questions like that kept me off fb for years.
"I recently interviewed for an Amazon position and made it through the three-month interview process and was notified that they wanted to hire me. The first step in the offer process, however, was that I had to submit my previous year's W-2 or federal tax return. Without that information, they would be unable to proceed. After providing them with my W-2, they made an offer that was below the salary range they originally quoted,"
from the linked article.
Just keep ignoring it.
Yay. I love it when the best way to go is "do nothing."
Vonnie, I think it's also not out of line to just say to him "oh, I got your friend request the other day--I don't like to friend coworkers/direct reports/etc on Facebook" or something. He doesn't know when you got/noticed it, and it could clue him in. I've said that to former coworkers (and occasionally friended them after one of us doesn't work there anymore). Or possibly suggest Linked-In to him.
