and do feel bad for abandoning her…
Apparently upper management got their heads out of their asses for a few minutes and recognized the situation and tossed the stats out the window for 1st quarter and bonuses will be distributed as though every goal was met. Smart move on their part, as they’re already facing near anarchy in the department. (We have goals that simply could not be met for first quarter. Not as in “gosh, if you really tried harder” as in, “fucking impossible”)
This was announced during our senior line conference call yesterday - and several of my coworkers asked “But, what about Cindy?” - I responded that there was probably a snowball’s chance in hell I’d see it, but hey, that’s life in the big city and all that. (Really, I am leaving and despite the fact that I was here for the evaluation period in question, the way things are working these days, I certainly would not expect it.)
Well, I was talking w/my boss today and she’s taken it up two levels of management to be sure that I get the bonus. Basically, she’s ready to claw people’s eyes out if I don’t see that money.
She’s a great manager, stuck with people she never would have hired in a million years, two more openings and an HR department that keeps taking our openings OFF THE DAMN WEBSITE. No wonder we’re having troubles getting resumes in… (This is the third time our department’s openings have disappeared off the site.)
