Stepzilla's Performance Review
So, I got to do a performance review for Stepzilla this year. For awhile, I debated on whether I should do it or not. After all, others have given her poor reviews in the past and it doesn't seem to make a bit of difference. I decided I should just go for it. As Sharpie pointed out, we all know what she's saying about us to everyone in the building so why not return the favor? Anyway, here it is. Let's hope it doesn't get me fired.
Performance Review – Stepzilla
Changes that would help me operate more efficiently:
One thing that would help me greatly would be for Stepzilla to have a more positive attitude toward ICE and the rest of the people that work here. I have heard her make disparaging remarks about nearly everyone in the building; people that I have gotten to know and like very much. I would also appreciate if she would think before making statements that might offend members of her department. I was very put off by statements she made regarding her disdain for Christianity.
Another area that would really help me to have more respect for Stepzilla as a leader would be for her to hold herself to the same standards she holds her staff. Several months ago, she moved our daily meeting up to 8:15 am, rather than 8:30 am. If any of the department members were even five minutes late, they would receive a very strongly worded email about how we NEED to be on time for the meetings. However, if Stepzilla is ever late, the meeting can be put off until 8:30 or 8:45, or whenever she comes over to our office.
Stepzilla should also work on creating an atmosphere that is not threatening or dictatorial. I feel like no matter how hard I work, she will always find something miniscule for which to berate me. I work in constant fear of what she will bring up next. The most difficult part of this is that Stepzilla makes mistakes too, all the time. She, however, never admits to them. She is never wrong. It is incredibly difficult to work in this type of an atmosphere.
Changes that would help ICE
I really feel like Stepzilla should work on the aforementioned changes to help the Institute. It might benefit her to attend training on how to manage people more empathetically or just general training on people skills. I don’t think she really understands how she comes off to her staff. She definitely needs someone to bring it to her attention.
I know for a fact that recent turnover in the marketing department was due solely to the inability to work with Stepzilla. I think that if she does not work to become a better leader, ICE will continue to lose talented marketing staff.
There was another category that I was supposed to include, "Things I appreciate". Obviously I had to omit that one, since the only thing I appreciate about Stepzilla is when she's sick or on vacation.
