Hi all
Happy New Year to all. May it be truly and happy and healthy. Mine has not started out so well. I had my performance review at work and would love to slap someone, scream, etc. I have been in my job for a very time. Have done it well enough to be promoted and have performed consistently over the the entire time of my employment. Not one disciplinary action, or bad review among the entire lot--until today, that is. In fact, I manage the department during my editor's absence. Well, apparently, they don't believe that I do enough! They have become very quota conscious; quality has been tossed out the window. They have seen fit not to give me a raise. Meanwhile, there are certain other individuals spending at least two and a half hours each day viewing fan sites of Harry Potter. (I only know because they are dead set right in my line of vision. Don't go looking for this. Am too busy, but you would have to blind or dead not to notice.) Can be interrupted countless times each day,et. Anyway, did not sign anything. I know we live in the age of employment at will. Can't I at least say something? (Yes, I know life isn't fair. What would you do? Thanks
