Long Conversation 01

M: Okay, then. This here is your yearly performance review. You've been with the company for three years and under my direct supervision for the past 12 months.Your report is mostly good, but there are a couple of issues we must discuss. The report is yours to take with you. We'll go through the main points together now. And you can comb through it in greater detail later. Do you have any questions before we start?

W: No, sir.

M: I'll get straight to it then. It is evident that you are a hard worker, You are punctual and industrious.Furthermore, you have strong analytical skills and attention to detail. The company, myself included, are happy with your productivity and overall performance.

W: Thank you. I appreciate the recognition.

M: Do you agree, then, with this depiction so far?

W: Yeah. It's a little simplistic, perhaps, but that's to be expected from this kind of evaluation.

M:Sure. Would you want to add anything? Your comments can be added to the report if you wish.

W: Oh, there's no need. It's a flattering portrayal, really.

M: Thank you, though.

W:Okay. This leads me to the not so good part. This mostly centers around one behavioral aspect-your ability to work with others.

M: I see.

W: Yes. As you already know, over the last several months, there have been some complaints raised about your communication style.

M: Of course. We already had, like, three meetings aboutthis. Look, all I'm going to say is that it was never my intention to offend anyone. Simply put, I don't like to write long emails because, frankly, I think they're a waste of time. Conciseness is efficiency, I feel that writing long emails hurts that same productivity you praised me for just a minute ago.And I already apologized if anyone was offended. But to be perfectly honest, I think anyone who was offended was being a little too sensitive.
