OK, so we’ve settled on Hellwithit (halibut) in browned butter and some steamed corn teriyaki (Steve Kornacki).
We’re saving our dogs and cat for a special occasion.

We are having a 36 hour scheduled power outage starting this evening! That complicates the family meal plan.

My Arctic char taco plan may change to Arctic char salad and fixings with tortilla chips in front on the tv. Possibly beverages. BF was a little keyed up this morning.

My last boss was very much in favour of performance review. Trouble was she had no idea what I did, wasnt interested in finding out and never set goals so couldnt assess them. As a general observation she couldnt tell her arse from her elbow. We increasingly had a mutual disrespect for each other which is why my application for early retirement was quickly actioned. It was a rather sad ending as she was such a contrast to her predecessor. She was actually the best boss I ever had during my working life

I might just get a pizza. I bet the pollsters will be eating crow.

You can do 1,000 tasks perfectly and do one that doesn’t turn out so great.
This particular supervisor would use that one (not so great) instance to lower my annual increase and it would be mentioned multiple times in my review.
As an example, this supervisor forced the owner to purchase this software (report writer) package to attach to my accounting software. We didn’t need it & I told them it wasn’t compatible with our present accounting software. She purchased it anyway, then brought it up on my review that I couldn’t make it work with our accounting software. Stating I didn’t try hard enough, I tried three ways to Sunday and the two software products just wouldn’t talk to one another.

No plans. But I made popcorn to watch Nixon’s resignation.

It sounds like your former supervisor is my present supervisor. My workplace doesn’t give bonuses and the employee has the right to refuse to sign our performance reviews. I asked my boss three times now if she would like to have one-on-one meetings with me so I can tell her what I do and she can provide feedback but she never answered my emails so Ihave them filed away in anticipation of my year end review. I fully intend on not signing it and if she brings anything up about not knowing what I do or not meeting expectations I have documentation that I tried approaching her and she never answered. I’ve spent most of my career working for toxic managers and although I wouldn’t wish it on anyone I prepared for whatever they throw at me.

I remember doing some HR training many years ago and this cropped up. The trainer quoted the case of the airline pilot who was fired after crashing the plane (47 deaths out of 126 on board, so Google reminds me). He appealed the decision on the grounds he had a perfect prior record, so this was a “first offence”. He stayed sacked.

Most jobs don’t have occasions to cause 47 deaths for any offence, first or not…
For a chef, that might be giving many on one day dangerous food poisoning?
Starting some time between 8 and 10 PM
