Have you ever tried your best at work but were still not appreciated or evaluated/ranked lowly?

[xJayleenx]

I work at an assembly job and I have one of the best efficiency scores for my shift but I’ve been feeling like my supervisor has wanted to get rid of me since my second day. It seems like he hasn’t even been trying to give me accurate grades on my evaluations he’s been giving me 3s (meaning average) in everything like he’s not even trying and today he just asked me a few do you know how to do this and that questions and I answered yes but he marked me as a level 1 or learner and made me sign my initials. Level 1 was literally the lowest their was. I work pretty fast and obey to do anything they tell me to do I’m convinced he just wants to get rid of me or doesn’t like me. In this job I have 3 months for the company to decide if I’ll become a permanent worker and so far I’ve been working for a little over 2 months. I always try my best in everything I’ve even been working on Saturdays never been late and absent only once

I guess that in assembly you are viewed as disposable and people don’t appreciate you. I actually caught the supervisor checking me out a week ago too. That was weird

This was kind of the first time I’ve tried my best and have someone grade me so lowly in my other job they just got rid of me because I guess they didn’t need me anymore but they never evaluated me lowly or anything like that. It made me feel a but sad to be labled as a level 1. So far I do not like that man he seems very judgmental based on the stuff that he has said about other people

When you put down your initials, does that mean that you agree with his assessment or just that you have seen his assessment?
If it means you agree... then maybe you could refuse to initial it.
Is there any way you can go over his head if you feel it's unfair?

[xJayleenx]

I doubt it

[xJayleenx]

Maybe i could try to talk to hr?

[Andres77]

If you feel like he's already hostile, yes.
Otherwise, as a general rule one should try to resolve everything at the lowest level possible and then elevate the issue if there's an impass.

Basically in every job I've had. It's probably because I bristle at authority and bite back but in ways they can't really do anything about

In any case, it's much easier to move up by changing employers than it is to advance within an organization unless you're a major kiss ass.

[xJayleenx]

I mean I’m kind of a door mat and they want to get rid of me

[xJayleenx]

I think

[ArtemisSilver]

Well, if you already know that then find something else. When you have, just enjoy being an asshole to them for a few days and then quit without notice

[RebeccaBI2000]

Sorry to say when you come in like that, you really make others look bad. Your supervisor should be proud of you, but he is probably getting questions on why your performance is so high and the others are so low. They are looking for faults in your work.

Nope, I'm hella good at what I do and a tough negotiator as well. I had my own company and did contract work for a few years, making deals directly with big companies and trying to squeeze every bit out of them.

[xJayleenx]

Im a temp to perm in assembly so that’s probably why 😂 never had any business related jobs

[boggboss]

Should have disputed it by signing it u agreed to that mark

[xJayleenx]

Didn’t know what else I could have done. I’m very shy and I didn’t really know how to react to that

[xJayleenx]

He is a higher up compared to me so I don’t think that I could be disrespectful in anyway

[boggboss]

Disagreeing with someone is not the same is disrespecting them

[xJayleenx]

I wish I was smart enough too I didn’t know what to do everytime those higher ups say anything to me I get nervous and I freeze a bit. I’m pretty sure they would’ve forced me anyways

[boggboss]

If your not able to stand up for yourself people will walk over u

Or worse, some that does "nothing" in comparison to you gets promoted and "rewarded". Unfortunately very common. In your case, you can hope that possibly someone above him will "notice" your work.

[xJayleenx]

I really don’t like that man he just seems so judgmental I’ve heard him say things like “oh he thinks she’s awesome but she’s not”, “where’s the college degree?”, and “the new girl will replace her” I usually love old people but I don’t know I feel like this guy is a douche.

Perception. I knew useless workers that they thought were good and some that were good and they left because they were not appreciated. Some people can fake it and get by with it.

[xJayleenx]

Im actually one of the only new people that stayed in my line none of the others lasted

[Sevenpointfive]

i've been evaluated by someone who's never seen me work. it was so offensive that i rejected her evaluation

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes that's something everybody goes through at some point but have you tried talking to your boss or do you just except it

[xJayleenx]

I don’t even know what to say to the boss I mean wouldn’t it just be my word compared to his?

[Bklynbadboy12]

I feel you

[shortster]

All the time at my last job. I am much happier at my new employer.

[MCheetah]

Like almost every job I've ever worked at? Yeah.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, same thing happened to me years ago

[moonpie89]

Happens all the time unfortunately
