Evaluation update

I haven’t been able to update people about my evaluation becase a) I was super busy last week and b) my computer decided to pack up on me and I had to buy a new motherboard and CPU and then reformat. So deepest apologies for those who wanted to know ::smirks::

My evaluation went considerably well. There was only one thing that I needed to work, and that was the fact that I get bogged down too much with detail. Sometimes that can affect my work load, because I’ll be spending too much time on one thing, that maybe isn’t so important. But there was a lot of praise for me, which I was smitten about. I just hope that I can keep on preforming the way I have been.

My 3 month probation ceases the 8th of May, so between last Tuesday and the 8th, I have to really really perform the best that I can. I now have a caseload of 16 in my name, and it’s my job to work on those 16 files. But as I was talking with my buddy yesterday, there are some files that I shouldn’t be having just because of the complexity of them. Aside from the complexity of the files, I’m currently WITH my team, the team that I’m going to be working with. But that’s only till the end of the week. Then I’ll be going back to Lt Bourke Street until we can find room for me. I find it silly that I’m going to have to go back and not work with my team. I would think that because I’m the newest member on the team, that I’d want to be in the heart of it all. There is someone who’s been with the company for quite some time, just in a different team…and he doesn’t have any cases right now. You’d think that someone more experienced would have some of my files?? ::shrugs shoulders::

It doesn’t make sense to me, but hopefully tomorrow my buddy will talk to her manager to find out if a) we can get a couple of files transferred to someone else and b) if there is any chance that I could stay where I am right now. It would just be easier for me to learn and to have access to people who know what they’re doing. There are 2 people at the other office that know due diligence stuff, but they both have case loads, so they won’t be able to help me as much. Even though the people in my team have a case load, it’s like of 30 compared to 100+ with the others.
I sort of feel like I’m sinking a little, and I need a hand. So hopefully this chat my buddy has with her manager tomorrow or sometime this week, may improve my sinking feeling. It’s not that I can’t handle it, it’s just that I’m still so new…they must have a lot of faith in me, but I don’t want to let them down.
