Good luck with whatever you decide to do, Con.

12696. Macnas - 12/14/2004 6:43:37 PM

Another hour and I'm away home until next year, ha ha!

12697. alistairconnor - 12/14/2004 7:01:03 PM

oh well... have an excellent season!

I'll miss you Mac.

I'm taking a week between christmas and the new year.

12698. judithathome - 12/14/2004 7:01:08 PM

Have happy holidays, Macnas!

12699. Magoseph - 12/14/2004 7:04:45 PM

Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année, Mac!

12700. Macnas - 12/14/2004 7:06:16 PM

I'll miss you all, maybe even so much I may pop in over the holidays.

I doubt it though!

You all take care, have a splendid Christmas and have lashings of ginger beer. I'll talk with ye again next year!

12701. Ms. No - 12/14/2004 7:19:15 PM

Have a wonderful holiday, Mac!

12702. PelleNilsson - 12/14/2004 7:30:18 PM

Have a good time, Macnas, and see you. Sooner rather than later, I hope.

12703. arkymalarky - 12/15/2004 1:20:39 AM

(probably too late)
Bye Mac!

12704. concerned - 12/15/2004 8:19:59 AM

Take care, Macnas, and enjoy.

Btw, I have a related question about this same person. In a performance review, I noticed that credit for some contributions I made that substantially helped a major project be more successful was not included. When I brought this up with my supervisor, he said: "You told me, not the project engineer, so I'm not giving you credit." which is ridiculous and unfair, since the suggestions were included. Some of them had been solicited from me in the first place and I did indeed respond to the project in those cases and some others.

How do you guys think I ought to respond to this one? This guy's new at the job but that doesn't mean my job and career should be a victim of such stupidity.

12706. concerned - 12/15/2004 8:28:55 AM

...and I did indeed respond to the project engineer in those cases and some others.

You maybe can tell I'm upset at this moron of a supervisor.

12707. concerned - 12/15/2004 8:36:17 AM

Re. 12687, 8,

I sort of hate to admit this, but it does affect something important to my job.

12708. Absensia - 12/15/2004 8:40:50 AM

Concerned,
Do you have an opportunity to respond to the performance evaluation or add anything to it? If so, I'd think that would be the place to add that information.

12709. concerned - 12/15/2004 8:51:29 AM

Hi Absensia -

There is a 'rebuttal' form, but what I'm 'concerned' with here is a basic inability of this guy to grasp reality, rather than shades of interpretation, and I'm the one who's taking it in the neck. Wonder if legal recourse is an option.

12710. Absensia - 12/15/2004 9:24:44 AM

Ummm, well, that would be a bit much at this point, I'd think....but I don't really know the situation.

Who reviews it once you fill in the rebuttal form?

This guy sounds like a real jerk, btw.

12711. concerned - 12/15/2004 9:36:58 AM

Well, I was told by the HR department that the rebuttal is routed to my supervisor and his boss, and they have an option to reply to the rebuttal. I've already been able to point out to my management chain where've they've got some very basic facts wrong in the review and they have informally conceded some of it, but the damage is on record already.

What I want is for the totally wrong, distorted and incomplete portions to be corrected place, and for all my major material contributions to be recognized in some manner. As it stands, the majority of the review is no less than a lie and distortion and totally prejudicial against me.

12712. Absensia - 12/15/2004 9:47:23 AM

Ouch! Have they conceded the errors in writing? Can you in your rebuttal asked that the erroneous parts be corrected and for the contributions that you have made, and that I assume you will set out, be recognized?

12713. Absensia - 12/15/2004 9:56:00 AM

Good luck, Concerned. Tis time for me to sleep now.

12714. concerned - 12/15/2004 10:02:38 AM

They have not conceded anything except verbally.
