I have friends in Ukraine, and a friend with a Ukranian wife whose family is still there. I am invested.

In other news, I did my Annual Performance Review for 2021, and in every single metric and measure far exceeded my goals. So I gave myself a glowing write-up and a rating of "Outstanding", which I have never done before.

My manager just completed their half of the assessment and rated me "Below Acceptable". In his review of my performance he claimed multiple of my ideas and achievements for himself, dating all the way back to 2019. He also said I don't appreciate our products, because I point out their flaws. Well dude, my job is literally to take a long list of customer-supplied requirements and measure them up against our products, and then sell them our products as the answer to their needs.

If the customer is expressing needs our products don't deliver on, that's not my fucking problem, is it?

My rebuttal to my annual review - with receipts going back to 2017, showing the projects I have been responsible for that came to fruition last year, and made last year so epic - is up to 9 pages now, and will be the basis for my legal action against my employer.

And hey - in other news, my second interview in two days went well! The company wants to hire within the next two weeks, and I have one more interview coming up.

The only constant is change...
