My bosses are the best

hkellickTHAT is probably not something you hear very often.
But they are.
I don't talk about my job much, but, to be blunt, I'm not the best or the brightest. I don't think I've wrapped my mind particularly around time management as well as I'd like. Not only that, but while I'm gaining knowledge of the regulations and programs used, I seem to be failing to understand the process involved.
To be blunt, I was not trained well. The girl who trained me is a really nice girl, but she did not train me well.
So, now here I am, basically 9 months later and I've been a frustration to my team leads and bosses, who know I'm struggling to do the job PROPERLY, but not doing it yet.
So... flash forward to now, where.. not exactly out of the blue.. I get my end of the year report *dread dread dread*
The end of the year report will determine if I am eligible for a raise and how much of a raise. I fear this because I know, and my bosses know, that while I *AM* trying, I haven't gotten it yet.
The end of the year report does reflect that. It's fair, but not helpful. The final verdict... Needs Improvement. Not eligible for a raise. 12 points away.. well, crap.
And then Mike says "Just to show you how much we know you're trying and how much faith we have in you, we went all the way to the top. You will be getting a raise."
blink. blink. blink.
Thank you!
So... after work, I'll talk to Kristen (my other boss, just under Mike) and we'll go over the process and try to figure out how to catch me up with where I SHOULD be.
And then tommorow.. I'll keep working at it.
My bosses rock! ^^
