For the record my position has nothing to do with sales. I'm a draftsperson, aka I make construction drawings on the computer all day and have 0 interaction with clients. I got full marks for teamwork and for accepting and implementing criticism.When they got to the point in the review about communication (which I thought stood for clearly communicating work-related subjects, but no it's about making small talk and friends in the office) they started it by, “I know different people have different personalities…”Yeah we do. And excuse me if not everyone has to be an extroverted ball of energy or goes to work to make friends. I'm here to work and I do my work well. It's not that I'm shy and I definitely speak up when I have questions or need clarification (which I got full marks on in the teamwork section of the review), I just keep to myself and my work when I'm at work. Is that really an issue worth being raised?? Are you literally telling me I should make more small talk??I know this is a dumb thing to vent about, but it rubs me the wrong way when an employer thinks they have the right to criticize my personality when it has absolutely nothing to do with my field of work. Why is that even part of the review??
Edit: I feel the need to add that it's a small office and everyone is also 20-30 years older than me. I can definitely talk for hours about my favorite anime/manga/videogame, but not that much about the weather or the kids I don't have nor want.
