Performance review mentions my productivity is down
Manager was pretty cool about it but yeah, hard to stay focused at 100% when you've got family stress, kids getting sick, school pickups, etc. He suggested I 'manage my time better' which feels like a kick in the teeth. It's not like I'm slacking off, I'm just spread thin. Anyone else get dinged for performance because of dad stuff and how did you handle it?
Honest manager is worth its weight in gold. Mine just pretends not to notice and it makes everything worse. At least you know he understands family comes first sometimes.
