I had a performance review today but it doesn’t really count. I am on probation.
My manager said I was doing some things well but I generally need improvement. It takes 3 to 5 years to learn this job. There is so much I don’t know.
In another 6 months I get a real review and if I am not up to par I get let go. If I am up to par I am off probation and get promoted two pay grades.
I got offered another job last week making twice as much money in another state doing stuff I already know how to do but I said no. I decided to stay here with the wife. Hoping I didn’t make a mistake.
In six more months I will find out.
