As we get towards the end of the year, it will soon be time for my employee review and compensation discussion. All of a sudden, my boss is nitpicking me over any minuscule error, or even a perceived error. She literally called me today to chastise me for not putting page numbers on a document. It’s maddening because I know exactly why she’s doing this. She’s coming down really hard on my performance now, so that when I sit across from her in three weeks and try to argue why I deserve a raise, she’s going to say I haven’t been meeting standards. Is anyone else’s boss like this?
