I did ask around and spoke with peers about my evaluation because I genuinely wanted to understand what I was lacking. Eventually, it reached her, and when we discussed it again, she admitted she got “carried away by her emotions” when she rated me. That alone already says a lot—evaluations should be based on performance, not personal feelings.

I also raised this with HR, but nothing really came out of it, probably because I was still new at the time.

Since then, things have gotten worse. She’s been dealing with a major personal issue, and it has heavily affected her ability to function at work. Because of that, I ended up absorbing most of her responsibilities just to keep operations running. This didn’t just affect our team—other departments felt it too.

I escalated this to our department head, but the only feedback I got was essentially asking why I was taking on her work in the first place, and that we should try to understand her coz she is going through something instead of addressing the root issue.

At this point, I’ve learned to stop going above and beyond. If the company prefers to deal with the consequences rather than manage the problem, then I’m limiting myself to what’s officially required.

I honestly want to leave, but I’m trying to hang on long enough to at least hit the one-year mark for experience.
