I'll join the stream of 30 other people, wearing horse blinders so I dont accidentally see what's actually being communicated and only the message that fdev wants us to believe.

Yeah may even be around to use it got my evaluation last week and looks like they're keeping me around.
Glad to hear your good news...

You get evaluations...you lucky dog...not that I'm complaining though...in my 15 1/2 years with my current employer I've had 1 "formal" evaluation and several "informal".

What were the "informal" ones, you ask?

When I was hired to write documentation for both manufacturing and engineering procedures way back in 2006, I was the, at the time, 13th current employee. Fast forward to 2014, the company had 42 employees and in January of that year there was a layoff down to 25 people. My wife was the only person left in her entire department of 9. Two weeks later they cut another 7 (down to 18).

Over the next 3 1/2 years, it was whittled down to 12, then 10, then 7 and now we're at 3 full-timer's and 4 part-timers.

Wife and I are still here, which speaks volumes... (and surprisingly, for those who might think so, we're not still here because we have/had lower salaries than those who've been "let go")

At 15 1/2 years, I'm currently the lengthiest continuous employee and the company is about 26 years old.

So no, I'm not complaining. On the contrary, I'm extremely thankful...and very lucky too...

It's great you both have been able to ride out the changes. I've been here since June of '15 and this is my second one, i think, even though they're supposed to be annual. I'm also supposed to evaluate my staff but it's been poached twice by the administrator since I got here and I had some turnover last year so I've been able to avoid that fun. We recently got a new assistant administrator/ HR director whose "formalizing" things now. So excite for all the new policies, forms, and directives. Can't wait. /s

Is that a picture of you pooping in the woods?

More importantly, is it before or after lunch?
