I received my first MI (Moderate impact) last month. I got thrown underneath the bus from my colleague with fabricated lies. Now I have a moderate impact for the whole year. Had a conversation before my performance review with my director about this and she mentioned I’ll be OK and that she’ll support me but didn’t. How could she tell me straight in my face that I’ll be OK when after all she didn’t even support me?!?! What really irritates me is that when she talks to me she acts like everything is OK Like nothing really happened. Things are not OK on how she dealt with the situation. I’d love to get some input and advice 🙏 This is the “new” google culture! #tech
She never said that she will change your rating. Only that your life will still be ok if you get MI rating ?
They keep staying that until you get laid off
I’ve seen this play out before. Don’t trust anything else they say, I kept giving them more chances seeing fault in myself. If there is a conflict between you and someone who is throwing you under the bus, they’ve picked their side for whatever reason. Get the fuck out before they use MI to show a downward trajectory and fuck you over next year. Tell them you are very committed to doing better for their org so they believe you naivety and bounce asap to another org or company. Don’t fight back, bounce. You seem, like me to believe that people will be truthful or keep their word. Almost no one will in management. Assume Machiavellian behavior when evaluating their words and actions. Don’t expect them to show you the knife when they will plan to hug you and stab you from behind.
Come again? What’s difference between fighting back and bouncing back?
Not bouncing back. Bounce as in GTFO of there.
Welcome to stack ranking. It sets perverse incentives. Nobody at work is actually doing productive things any longer.
Politics. Learn it or keep your head down
Is she from Amazon?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😬😬😬
how did you interpret "youll be ok"?
You’ll be okay with or without Google. Looks like you’re manager and getting the same treatment as you do with your direct reports
Well, she broke your trust. I would be surprised if she is thinking that it will be business as usual with you. Don’t act emotionally. Judge what you can do that is best for yourself. Your future is outside this group, that’s for sure. But make your move deliberately instead of emotionally.
So, what is the deal she keeps saying ok, then flip? She could just say OP is not good, and hold her stance. Why say OK, when OP will know it’s not OK eventually
Org?
Quit()
Don't quit but start interviewing. Ideally you get the Google severance and then have something far enough along that you aren't out of work any longer than you want.
