I had my mid-year appraisal on Thursday, and I will be honest with you. With this new position that I got promoted to in April, I was a little nervous. It is a position that there is just not a lot of training for, so you just have to fly by the seat of your pants and figure things out while you go, like what your job responsibility really are. It has been a struggle for me also, because in my last position, I was the good guy that helped stores with issues that they had, and resolved problems that they had.
Now I am the bad guy that calls and asks why they spent more salaries than they had sales for.
I saw the meeting for my appraisal go on my calendar last week, and have had a nervous stomach ever since. So by Thursday, I had gone through the goals that were set, and had questions written down for almost all of them. And went in at least prepared to hear that I was not doing what I really should be.
I was a little surprised that while they saw the need for me to continue to grow in my position they thought I had been doing a pretty good job so far, and answered all of my questions, so I think I may be better prepared now to at least aim to achieve some of my goals, and for sure make others. So one more mid-year passes, and I still have a job, (phew)
