Nobody reads everything that was written, but someone will always read some part of it. There's a reason perf and promo and calibrations take forever, and it's not because all the managers lock themselves into meeting rooms for a few weeks to twiddle their thumbs and pick their noses.
And if someone raises any red flags, your manager will really want to be able to point at something that addresses them.
- giantg2 4y agoIt's unlikely anything would address the objections. The objections are made after the stuff is written, so it's not like you can form a cogent argument against an unknown attack. Especially considering the asymmetrical power dynamic.
- vkou 4y agoThe attack isn't unknown, neither you nor your manager were born yesterday, you should have some semblance of how your work meets/fails to meet the expectations for your role. Writing also has a magical power, where people believe it more than spoken words. The reason it has this magical power is because it commits you to a particular story, as opposed to one that changes with the winds. Also, just to clarify - are you making your claims from experience (I am, for promotion), or based on what you think takes place in perf/promotion meetings?
