"Compellingly drove cross functional synergies" sounds a lot like my workplace. Ew.

I have to write manager's comments on 20 people's annual reviews. I am doing this right now, in fact. I no longer have any sympathy for the whining about having to write ONE.

Unassailable logic.

Day was not as bad as I feared. My boss didn't want to, like, have a conversation about all this. I asked her for some help prioritizing and first she said "it's all high priority" which, yeah, that's the problem, and then at least she told me the next thing she's like me to work on which is more direction that I often get.
But I legit do not think this job is a good fit for me. I should probably quit and go back to the temp agency. Not until after the winter party, though, I've already RSVP'd with my deposit.

Ugh. My old boss did this all the time. And then she wouldn't give me any further guidance. Like, I can't physically work on more than one thing at a time, so what order should I do them in? "Do them all, as fast as you can." Fuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuuuu.

I've read through 60 resumes, only about 15 so far are for the position I'm hiring. It's entry level, but so far those that have the key things I'm looking for are over qualified. So I'm looking for "potential." For someone to be my minion and mini-me.
I have no fucking clue what I'm doing. I get that my boss is increasingly trusting me with more managerial responsibilities because she has faith & trust in me, but oh my gawd. I barely have time to keep up with functional work & write up procedures to pass tasks off. Which is the point, I guess. But yeaahhhhrg.

Finally caught up in Natter!
In time to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Pix & ND!
And -t, you've only worked there for like 5 minutes, with next to no guidance. I'd be amazed if you didn't make a few mistakes. The email writers sound like real jackweasels.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy anniversary to Pix and ND! Now with added home ownership!
