I am happy to say that out of all eleven staff members at my work, I got the highest score on my performance evaulation -- two of those eleven happen to be the two bosses. As a result, I have received a raise -- the only bitch out of the place to get a raise. Amazing, yeah? Fuck yeah. Only, not really, because being in this underpaid, underrated field...my raise sucked. And because it was corporate office that decided the raise, the director in the place came to me yesterday and told me that she wants to make me a key person in the center, a part of management, so I can get better pay. Sweet.
And she also told me that she's gonna work with me on my "people skills" because, as she puts it, "You want people to behave, and you don't have a great deal of patience or tolerance, so you get aggravated with them easily. And then you're not nice."
I guess that's true, but I think she has too much faith in people in a field that can't really afford to take many chances, because we've got some stupid people working. I told her I wanted to beat one of the new girls she'd hired about a month ago with a stick because she was stupid and couldn't close the place worth a damn shit. And she said, "Aww, we'll just train her." And I said, "You can't train common sense."
So, yeah -- maybe she's right. I don't think I should have to hold a grown person's hand and pamper them every step of the way. I'm nice and say, "This is what has to be done. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, alright?" I think that's nice. Don't you?
So, yeah, I'm a "T" as opposed to her "F" ("Thinking" personality as opposed to her "Feeling" personality as far as the Meyers-Briggs personality test is concerned). I do like her. She's a great boss, but don't you think sometimes that people have too much faith in people? Because she's got some dumb bitches working here. I wish she'd ask herself, "Would I feel one hundred percent comfortable with leaving my child with this person?"
And I don't think she does. I'll talk to her about that, today.
