Could a Republican still run as an independent, or is it too late for that?
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not too late! Although if they are just starting now, they'd be hard pressed to get on the ballot in Texas, because they'd need like 80K signatures by Monday. [link]

I can actually name an honest to goodness moderate Republican: Senator Susan Collins of Maine.

Well, I'm meeting expectations, which isn't good, and apparently I have some interesting and potentially upsetting feedback to read. I think I'll wait to read it until Friday when I'm working from home. I'm too demoralized to make myself do it right now.
Maybe I can retire.

I love how "meeting expectations" is a bad review. "You're doing what we expect of you. We're very disappointed in you."

As I recall in my brief time as a not-actually-a-Google-employee, you can do a good job and still get what sounds like a pretty bad review.

Yeah, the scale should be recalibrated. That's bullshit.

Oh lord. Yeah, save that until you have a drink and/or a snack and/or something to distract you.

Yes! Good one. And I guess my governor, Charlie Baker, is actually a moderate? He is definitely a Republican.

You're not wrong.
I have to increase my visibility and sell the things I'm working on when I would rather just do the work. Ugh. Maybe I'll distract myself by writing more code.

My manager spent about half my review just explaining how Google performance reviews weren't a bell curve like Motorola's were. Still it was pretty demoralizing to be told you're doing a perfectly good job, but then get these low numbers.
