How can it be perfect without popcorn?

I don’t watch any TV – I guess even if I had a boss like her back when I used to work, it ain’t gonna work

That’s pretty much how my annual reviews go. At least, after I break in a new manager. The new ones keep asking stupid things like “What are your goals for advancement?” If I wanted to advance, I’d have gone into management decades ago.

..but what about eating on the job and the unauthorized usage from the store’s popcorn machine? C’mon, no one’s “perfect”..

She does have her favorites……

Oh, I have indeed been in plenty of meetings where I voiced out loud the opinion that the meeting was a waste of time

I once got a civil service job after a nice interview chat. My new supervisor later told me there were more qualified applicants but that I would clearly be more interesting to work with.

The job was correcting pre-printed mistakes on water quality field reports – not rocket science.

Tabby exceeds expectations in all categories and a few more that aren’t on the form .

Wow, polar opposite from my experience. Great bosses seem few and far between.

Yes, watch Lower Decks.
