Open source transcript

I CAN'T GIVE YOU A GOOD PERFORMANCE REVIEW BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T PERFORMED UP TO EXPECTATIONS.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT MY JOB IS?

OF COURSE I DO.

YOU'RE AN ENGINEER.

YES, BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT PROJECTS I'M WORKING ON?

WELL, VARIOUS THINGS. AND SOME MISCELLANEOUS THINGS, TOO.

HOW CAN YOU DETERMINE MY JOB PERFORMANCE WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT MY JOB IS?

HAVE YOU HEARD OF HEURISTICS? YOU'RE BAD AT EVERYTHING I'VE OBSERVED, SO I ASSUME YOU ARE BAD AT EVERYTHING ELSE AS WELL.

YOU SHOULD HAVE STARTED WITH THAT.
