February 01, 2023 #110. The tea from one of my performance reviews - For the high achievers and people who are chronically ill
A few days ago, I was going through my email when I came across my midyear and final year-end review from when in sales in corporate many, many years ago.
----more----
Before starting my own business, I spent over a dozen years in corporate, holding multiple positions for many companies.
----more----
Honestly, reading this performance review made me angry. Not because of the company or the manager who wrote it. It made me angry because it highlights everything wrong with being a high achiever with chronic illness working for a corporation.
----more----
This experience prompted me to make an episode about the review itself and the challenges I’ve faced as a high-performing employee with a chronic illness.
----more----
In this episode, I’ll share my midyear and final year-end review, my experiences in corporate, why I believe we are experiencing the great resignation, and how corporations can build better systems and a better work environment to help people with illnesses succeed in the workplace.
----more----
Have you worked a corporate job, or are you currently working in corporate? I’d love to know about your experiences!
