The Performance Review
Office meeting - absurd corporate feedback destroys promotion dreams
Taylor, Boss Linda9 lines
Full Script
Boss Linda: Taylor, your synergy with the team's paradigm shift needs work.
Taylor: I'm sorry, could you... could you define that? In actual words?
Boss Linda: Your collaborative dynamic vis-à-vis our core competencies shows minimal bandwidth optimization.
Taylor: Are you... are you speaking English right now?
Boss Linda: I'm trying to help you level up your value proposition.
Taylor: Linda. I sell paper. I sell PAPER. What does any of this mean?
Boss Linda: This attitude is exactly why we can't move you to senior sales associate.
Taylor: I've been here seven years!
Boss Linda: And with the right mindset pivot, maybe seven more until promotion!
