Appraisal tomorrow. The things I should but won't say

Mar 25, 2010 23:35

The day returning from work after holiday is never a joy but today was painful. My worries to colleagues and case-workers were fulfilled. Not only had my team struggled without me but work was held back for the time I was back, negating cover and even purposing them to be inept. Just what is the point in providing support if you don't fully use it. I can grasp it may have been a bit busy without me around but why should I be given a guilt trip when I wasn't even in the country when a piece of work should have been done?

Perhaps I'll come out as the guilty party in this for speaking my mind to a supervisor yet my point was clear. Work was not done because support couldn't be trusted to cover adequately. Simple as. Go on, tell my boss that a task had been held back nigh on two weeks because we're short staffed. Someone please tell her because if I do I'll get into trouble.

My appraisal is tomorrow. Do I want to tell my boss I demand a payrise as my absence has proved beyond any doubt that I do an incomparable amount of varied work compared to the others? That's not even mentioning the added responsability I seem to have adopted through no duty of my own.

Yet I already know how it'll go. Your attitude lets you down, you should appear more helpful and you're not getting a payrise. And off I go
