Today was my yearly review at work. Last year I didn't do so well only because I was new to the company and they didn't have much to base the review on. So a year has passed and my boss had a lot to say about me. He believes that even though I'm still a junior engineer, he considers me the leader of our department of 4 people. He says that my personality is really laid back but also professional when I need to be. I'm always calm and I can explain issues thoroughly so everyone can understand how to fix them.
So how did my review go? My average was a 4.05/5 which was pretty good compared to last year, but not good enough for a promotion. My boss said that since there's only 3 of us, he can only promote one person and it's not my year. He assured me that next year will be my year and that he'll fight for a big promotion. Riiiight. I'll believe that when I see my paycheck. He was calculating some random numbers on his calculator and according to his calculations, next year I'll be making 12k more. That doesn't sound right does it? I think he miscalculated from the pressure of doing simple math in front of me. But I better get a raise next year or else I'm quiting! It makes sense though right? You can't be at a company for 3 years and not get promoted. Especially when your boss says you're doing an excellent job. He constantly praises me yet no promotion. So if next year is not my year, I'm sure I can find different job where I can climb the ladder within a year. And if I make 12k more, that would be awesome.
