Ha StetsTerhune, I was checking in to report the same thing.
Had my performance review yesterday. Probably the last one if all goes well.
I had a great year, but my boss does not give much praise anyways.
If you reach or exceed your goals, then it means the goals were not high enough.....lovely!
Regarding the correction: When I was in planning stage, I said, if there's a correction around the time I am planning to leave, I will put off plans for a year or if need be two.
If I had a choice I would have preferred it happen BEFORE I Fire, so I can adjust plans as needed.
Now that it has happen, I am like, what the heck, I'll put in what I can put this year, but no way am I working OMY!
I currently have a situation where pulling the plug too early may have an impact on something that's really really important to my FIRE plans. So I am not as flexible to decide, as I wanted to be, but ironically this has nothing to do at all with my job and all to do with my personal situation.
In any case January is almost over. We are getting CLOSE friends, real CLOSE!!
