Just remember, anything less than a 10/10 is used as a reason to fire the employee, so only do this if you actually hope that you can contribute to your contact losing their job.

I mean, a good NPS score is in the range of "bad scores 20% of the time" so if a place is literally firing people every time a bad score was sent they'd be out of business super fast.

I never said they were firing people when it comes in. I'm just saying that it's evidence they'll use later to justify it.

When you make the second entry and the debits and credits balance, and you blow them to hell.
The ones where they ask "how likely would you be to recommend this payroll software to a friend" are just baffling. 0% likely. I've literally never talked about payroll software with any of my friends.

"How likely would you recommend our service to friends and family"

We're an ISP. Nobody has a choice. Our sales strategy is a legalized Monopoly. I will recommend our service to somebody who wants TV, Phone, or internet service at their home because the alternatives are non existent.

Amazon customer support literally kept me online 2 hours and transferred me to 4 different representatives all of whom were pretty terrible at communicating and did not solve my problem.

I still rated them 5 stars because gently caress Amazon, I hope they get promoted and then quit for another job and Amazon is stuck with them for like 90 days or whatever the insane notice period is in India now.

Just been told that my role has been frozen and that my income is capped below the amount necessary to compensate for the inflation that's occurred over the last year. It's the same thing as my last job! Happy 2 year work anniversary to me! I haven't received a raise since working retail! It's not like I didn't expect something like this could happen, but I'm beginning to depression spiral over the fact I have to jump jobs, again, to get a raise. I'd think that it's because I've been persistent in asking about raises for myself, and for my coworkers, but the manager I spoke to about it agrees and has discussed the same topic with his other reports.

The job hunt sucks. Explaining around why I've been jumping jobs sucks. I have relative job security in the meantime (probably), but poo poo. I'm going to have to minimum effort it as stealthily as possible until I get out. I should tap into the networking and use the awards I received during my master's. I feel pre-burnt out on the search.

My local transit authority has been having a hard time hiring bus drivers, so sometimes busses are just cancelled without notice. So when combined with RTO this leads to me waiting for a bus that doesn’t come, and then waiting 40 minutes for the next one.

This creates such rage in me that I never experienced when I was exclusively WFH. Good energy to bring into the office.

Fun for the day: Because my department has no eligible delegate for my role, everything I have due in November needs to be done in October before I leave, since I'm out of the country for most of November. This includes people's end-of-year performance evaluations, which will now not include a month of their accomplishments (because they won't have happened by the time I leave). Nope, my manager won't take over writing them. Nope, nobody else is allowed to do my other work while I'm gone (even if they wanted to), because our procedures specify that they have to be done by certain types of roles (departmental responsibilities, etc etc. E.G., QA has to approve specific documents, system owner has to do whatever, site manager has to review / oversee contractor X, etc etc) and I'm the only person in my role.

HELL YEAH. I can't wait to see what happens next year when it's time for me to take my (overdue) sabbatical.

This is my usual go to. Along with "Haven't hosed up TOO badly".

I had to do self evals at my previous company, which was during high pandemic and my wife was in active treatment for breast cancer at the same time. My self eval was something like "I am continuing to fulfill my daily job functions despite everything". Thankfully I had an incredibly understanding boss.

I kinda didn’t give a gently caress about my performance review. A few things I put in:

“I have exceeded all wildest expectations. I have set the bar higher than my predecessors.”

“I have done some stuff and things.”

“I think I’m doing well at this.”

“I got donuts for helping one of our end users, but when he showed up with them I was out that day.”

“I work pretty hard I guess.”

Still got promoted, lol
