Just today I had my yearly assessment. I had no idea that it was due (actually five months late, which I mentioned just before I signed things).
I do not know if I have told you how much animosity I hold for my managers for them having forced me to give up my full time job.
(LARGE story, better at another time)
Today I got a really great assessment which leads to a raise in pay. It is already done. Today was more about reporting the results of my yearly assessment
I found several openings from which to interject my fury. I only took one. I noticed that "my boss" was assessing me as if I had not gone from full time to part time, fully expecting me to do the same job I did as a fulltimer, but restricted to part time work.
I mentioned that this conversation will be a very SHORT one, because we have been over and over this same shit many times. "You seem to forget that I AM NOW A PART TIME WORKER and all this shit you try to make me take responsibility for NOW falls to THE FULL TIMER, (YOUR FUCKING ROOM MATE, BTW) not to ME!!. I only work part time, now!
I said that I will continue to train him (our new full timer - who is cool and I like him and I want him to succeed, but I have no reason to take his job on anymore.) to the best of HIS abilities, but do not make me responsible for his failures nor accredited for his successes. He is on his own to sink or swim. "I will train him, but to get him up to MY speed in a few months is NOT going to happen. I have been doing this same job for over six years and I am still learning, as YOU are."
Surely, you understand that taking my job away from me, in favor one infinitely less competent, diminishes my investment in this company, right?
I hear you mate and there is nothing unreasonable in what you said. Don't let them play with your sense of pride and ego
Agreed. I hate it when job definitions change but the expectations aren't affected.
Foolishly, I took on additional responsibilities at work as a Scrum master (think of the concept as being the keeper of the faith for development methodology for programmers, a team leader of sorts). My thinking was to take control over the development processes because the developers we have are too inexperienced and young to handle any of it. I thought, again foolishly, that I would only invest a few hours a week for this.
What happened was that I am now expected to improve those processes, in reality the net results from said developers, while still doing everything I did before, for the same hours and the same pay.
I am stupid.
