ravencallscrowsI'm glad manager feedback forms are anonymous. I know my boss wouldn't like what i had to say about him. It's not my fault that he doesn't know how to lead a test team, or that he's either the Invisible Man or a horrible micromanager. I can't think of a single time when he's had a piece of advice that wasn't either trite or common sense to give, or one when he's shown any sort of interest in really finding out how i feel about my job or suggesting things which may make me more useful.
Yes, i understand the concept is for employees to drive their own development, but there have been times when i've asked if class a or class b would be more beneficial, and gotten either no response or a completely blase non-committal one.
Damnit, why couldn't that job with EA have been in Seattle instead of Orange County, California? I don't want to go to California. I like it here in Washington.
It's time to look for a new job.
And now for something totally different:
Coffee last night was nice. Rather less crowded than usual- i guess people are on vacation or were at the baseball game. It was nice to be able to actually talk to people. Spent most of the evening doing so with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
revseandoe and sarmonster and Sarah's friend Heather (don't think she's succumbed to the addiction that is LJ yet); and other people drifted in and out in tidal flow. Left late, found that the freeway ramp onto I-5 at Olive was closed, and in its infinite wisdom, WSDOT managed to set up a detour which went around the block back to the same closed on-ramp. WTF?!? Ended up going all the way up Olive to 23rd, then across Montlake and back to the freeway from there. Yes, all you Seattleites, i know i could have just gone up to Roanoke, or taken one of several other ways back, but this one worked just fine, and fit my mood, which was pretty contemplative at the time.
