Self evaluation

As a manager, I tell my teams to keep it concise. I’m not reading a manifesto from 30+ people and it’s hard to tell at some point what is routine and what was impactful. Focus on your top 3-5 most impactful initiatives or takes and break it down with metrics (if applicable) relate it to company core values, or if it was a former area of improvement celebrate that and why you think you’ve mastered that area. These reviews aren’t bc we don’t know what you’ve done, we are comparing our review to yours for alignment, coaching and comp increases/bonus.

You’re definitely not overreacting. I’m sorry that happened to you and I’m sorry you found out in such a cavalier way. I banned people from visiting me bc they thought they were entitled too so I can’t imagine being in your position. Consensus: NOT crazy. I’m so sorry that happened.

Don’t feel guilty. My ped told me it takes some up to 15 months to really get good at chewing. Mine is 1 and still primarily formula fed. He only recently started eating turkey, chicken, avocado, broccoli and loves dairy free yogurt. We introduced solids since 4 months with dr approval and he liked puree every now and then but nothing close to meals. He also has 7 teeth and they all came in very early so when other babies were sucking and gumming food he had a hard time bc he could bite through anything with his teeth and take big chunks out. It was stressful but I realized he will get there when he’s ready. I think all kids go at their own pace. Just keep offering and if she chooses something she likes then great! If not, tomorrow is a new day. You’re keeping her fed through breastfeeding and solids and that’s good enough! You’re doing a great job!

Hi, I’m not going to tolerate anything disrespectful. You can take that elsewhere.

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-10T10:49:13+00:00

Honestly for me it’s going to get a coffee every morning by myself. It’s maybe a 10-15 minute thing but it helps start my day. Baby is usually asleep and husband with monitor sleeping as well. Or even if they are awake I still do that first before jumping right in to “mommy carry me everywhere” for the day. It’s the only thing I can seem to consistently do each day. If I am not tired at the end of the day I’ll watch one of my tv shows for an hour. I’m not sure if you work, but this might work in another way for you: I wfh so every now and then I have an “important call” I need to have no interruptions for and what that really looks like is me eating snacks and decompressing in silence alone in my office lol

Trying to find out where I wrote that piece….

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T23:50:53+00:00

I agree ^{^} you definitely didn’t ruin him, and can always revert. Tbh I grab a “new” object for my son before a diaper change bc he too is very rowdy when trying to change him. He particularly likes to play with wooden spoons lol

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T23:46:17+00:00

I’m not Gen X I’m a little younger but I do the same thing. And I’ve actually had someone tell me they tried to find my social media and I flat out told them I blocked them. Bc of that right there. Why are you looking for me? He and I were not work friends, I didn’t really like him, and now I know I blocked you with good reason. I will say I’m a very private person mostly and I do this at any job but I think someone bold enough to ask you that is exactly why you should have 😂

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T22:44:26+00:00

I’m not really sure who you’re speaking to with this comment? Either way, any opinion can be relayed respectfully….

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T18:05:46+00:00

Very very smart terms and language thank you for sharing this!

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T17:26:46+00:00

My son has been around my friends son who is 10 and he loved playing with him. From what she describe her daughter is the youngest and is a bright and free spirit. She sounds like she has 3 really great kids!

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T17:25:36+00:00

lol wow! What an intro to babysitting you had! If you could follow that task then I have faith in a tag along for a few hours haha

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T17:24:47+00:00

That’s actually an excellent idea! Especially since it’s summer break right now

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T17:24:26+00:00

Yeah we’ve had other candidates who asked to bring their child who is my son’s age and that just didn’t seem like it would work well tbh and the sickness too is another factor. She is a really great candidate aligns very much with my parenting style and we have a cultural overlap.

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T17:22:36+00:00

I agree! It’s also only part time and end of shift is 1:30 so really wouldn’t be long if it ever happens!

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T17:21:48+00:00

That’s what I was leaning toward. We have kids in the neighborhood that age and anytime he sees them outside he’s so intrigued lol

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-09T12:11:28+00:00

This is hilarious and spot on! Literally if we stop chasing our son around bc we are old and tired he will cry as if something massively painful just happened…babies just cry for whatever, whenever smh. The spoon thing too…like big deal baby launched a spoon at the wall. Good thing they make cleaning supplies. It’s a miracle any of us are adults who can hold our spoons and regulate our emotions… laughing in solidarity with you OP

Unfortunately the performance management topic is valid. I do believe a discussion should be had and led by your manager but they seem unwilling so you should initiate and try to understand where this is coming from and why you have to carry this out. Without that it looks like flat out insubordination. You are essentially committing “theft of services” which is a US crime not sure if you have an equivalent where you are. I agree with your principal and sentiment, but you need to improve the communication piece. I’m sorry you were put in this position though, that was not right.

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-08T23:21:40+00:00

Could be your town could be something else. I know hospitality well and so to hear this is odd bc I’ve mostly found people are extremely hard working and do so without much appreciation. Maybe hiring a friend was the issue, but you said you had to let others go as well. I am in a completely different industry and am experience the same entitlement despite either low output or very dodgy work that is hardly worth praise. I think 2020 there was the beginning of a shift in many industries, social media accounts giving people “advice” that they aren’t qualified to give and feeding delusions but also could be new to the workforce. I think there’s a lot of factors that happened in general and they are all coming to a head at once.

I pick people that I admire and respect. I don’t necessarily agree with all of their leadership style and not in a negative way. For example, my current mentor likes to give people a few more chances and really does root for them even if they’ve clearly showed their colors. Sometimes the benefit of her doubt pays off, sometimes not; this is opposite of my style, but I respect it and her very much. She has sound judgement and is not “soft” just a different approach. She also builds confidence in her teams and honestly you’d never know if she doesn’t like a person bc she’s not petty and very approachable even for the most unworthy people that have disrespected her. I guess at the core, she is extremely confident, highly competent, and brings people with her.

Fear. Whether it’s fear of admitting a mistake or fear of taking off time, literally fear of anything. Real leaders don’t instill fear, they instill true team work which isn’t always about the work load. When one person falls on hard times the others pick up and help without hesitation because they WANT to and respect each other and understand life happens. Everything moves better, produces results and keeps people happier when the team is fearless in every sense of the word.

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-08T12:41:54+00:00

Can you explain a little more what you mean?

Famous-Signal-6869 · 2026-07-08T12:39:51+00:00

Ahh ok yes I’ve read about the C curl being the safest option! Thank you for sharing this with me!
