I must be doing a lot right because my boss just gave me 3000 corporate points to use in the company store. I'm going to get me a key chain with the company's logo on it. Or I might save up my points and buy a flashlight with the company logo on it that doesn't require batteries. That will come in very handy when the zombies take over the world. Only 12000 more points to go.

"Exceeds Expectations" on last 2 yearly employee reviews despite/because of always having a gE tab open.
-
I generally get kinda freaked out/nervous before big meetings but they always go really well.
-
I'm pretty awesome at my job. They gave me a couch for my office.

I'm not sure yet. I'm still in training. :curse:

No. But I do have a friend that works in the marketing dept of D&B. She gets me free power cards whenever I want.

Move to the stud/boss thread, cfod. :love:

Got a 5 figure raise last year (second time in 9 years here) and a commitment to a 5 figure annual bonus on top of project bonuses.

I'm your boss, Wacky. Please send over your client list and their contact info in a PM. When you're done with that, go ahead and take a 3 hour lunch.

What is the criteria for awesome, here?
If you're consistently called the "guru" at something in a company with over 10k people, does that count?

As long as you're not the water cooler guru I think that counts.

I'm so awesome at my job that my progress reports have progress reports.

I'm like the Maverick and Goose of my team which is like Top Gun (best of the best)

I have a hard time believing "everyone is a badass at their job" on this board. Especially since everyone is on here about 99.9% of their day.

One of my grad school professors told us that 80% of people think they are in the top 10% at their job. He was a strange guy so I don't know if it's true or not but it wouldn't surprise me if it was.

Yeah, I mean, I've had my great moments with jobs and I've also had some shitty ones. I guess that puts me in the middle. I'm really hoping to change that this time around.

This might be better served in the shame yourself thread but my first job out of college was direct sales for a cell phone company. I sucked at it so I spent most of my time goofing off and playing on the internet. I had gotten one of my friends a job there and one day I sent him an email from my company email address. It was one of the infamous email in the early 2000's that when you opened it would somehow maximize the speaker volume and a voice would yell "Hey everybody I'm watching porno over here!"
Only problem was I didn't send it to my friend Chad Smith, I sent it to the Chief Financial Officer Chad Smith in Pittsburgh, PA. :facepalm:
I can only imagine his reaction to opening that email. So anyway I show up to work one Monday and get called into HR where they put me on last chance warning. I quit a month later.
-
WC, have you ever seen that one movie about that one social network site? I haven't but I would be the main guy that makes the entire thing work.

It helps to quantify people on a bell curve and use it in ratings.
I once got an award for the top performing 1% in my org. They essentially looked at 5000 people, picked 50 of them, and we all got a pretty cool designation. Some guy in a Town Car showed up at my house with a formal invitation. It was pretty snazzy.

I have to say I'm probably pretty good at what I do
I was in Lamar Hunt's widow's house today and she even asks me to call her Norma when I go over

I can't even make an old fashioned like you, but that's not what I come there for. I come there for the scenery and companionship. What I'm saying is, Stevesie60 is a beautiful person (inside and out).

yes, they'll think less of you if you don't (prolly never get a promotion, seem complacent to bosses, etc...). it's all part of the sales game, everyone does it.

I'm just a little baby intern scrub, but I always finish my work faster than they expect and they run out of stuff for me so then I get on goEMAW and have fun with you guys. So one could say I'm pretty good at my job.

You may be a stud, but what you describe is more of a bad boss than anything.

Nah my boss is a stud/boss. It'll get better, they probably just haven't gotten used to having interns to worry about providing with work.

you dont work in my office because youre not a floodaggie or squawk. but seriously... stop doing crap so fast. just take your time. youre not impressing anyone. slow and steady wins the race.

Not as awesome as I could be.

Thank you. Don't worry I don't try to go fast anymore, that was only the first few days because I thought I needed to work that hard. Quickly realized it was totally unnecessary and nobody around me was working nearly as hard. It's a weird change going from school (where I have to work hard) to this.

Confirmed. MooseTheDog works at my office. :users:

Both years I interned the exact same thing happened to me. I thought getting crap done and messing around on the web was just an internship-type thing.
Year 1: Got my stuff done in decent time (wasn't trying to go fast), the job was going well and I had a ton of free time on my hands. Usually went home around 3:30 or 4 and they still allowed me to count a full day. Did this all summer and within a week or 2 after I got back to Manhattan (stud internship was in DC), I received an offer for an internship the following summer.
Year 2: Did not take internship from previous company so worked for a different company doing stud stuff in Florida. Got done with my work fast and efficiently so played games on the PC (while at work).

After games, coaches often tell me I have one of the most consistent strike zones they've ever experienced. Umpiring is by and large a thankless job, so it does feel pretty good when coaches from both teams tell me they liked having me behind the plate and wished I'd work more of their team's games.
-
I could be really good at my job if i wanted to be.
Does that count?

Pretty awesome. I talked a guy into quitting today so I didn't have to fire him. New guy starts on Monday, or maybe I can convince "The Man so Nice They Named Him Twice" to come work on my shift.

This. There are times at the end of the day I'm like, "Man, that was kind of rough" and then the boss comes in, looks at my numbers and high fives me. So, cool, i guess.

Let's just say I've got a lot of down time.
