I can understand if one is performing below expectations, but what is the reasoning behind a verbal warning for not exceeding the expectations? I understand that for many, exceeding the expectations is a goal, but for others, the bare minimum level of accepted performance is just fine? Is there an ulterior motive by management for that employee? Is it a sign that management cares enough to use a tactic such as this to strongly suggest that the employee make an impression for some plans for advancement? Or is it management taking advantage of an ambitious employee? Your thoughts are appreciated.
I had a one2one talk with the operations manager and one with my direct supervisor. Both told me that I need to keep doing outstanding work, and that hard work will be rewarded. I have been working extra hard at asking people if they need my assistance, and they have told me that they are aware of the efforts I am putting forth, and they are pleased. I did straight out ask if I was on a path to a pink slip, the answer was a vehement “NO”. It was just the kick in the ass I needed to keep myself at top performance. Thank you for your answers! It gave me the strength to ask the questions to get the answers I needed to hear!

By the time I was 21 I had become an account manager with a security companymaking 45K/yr. Left that after five years with the company because I don’t like employees and being on call 24/7. Got into college and roofing. 2 years until I graduate with a bachelors degree in business administration. Roofing was dangerous and the weather sucked but it did pay good, though I left it for an office job that was better until they wanted me to start traveling which conficted with school. Left that to stay in school and got into security again making 17/hr but my schedule is constantly changing and putting my education and my relationship with my soon to be fiance in jeopardy. So I am getting a degree in business in a couple years, have a background in construction, management, and security. Ultimately I want to be in business for myself. Construction pays better until I graduate, but office work is what my degree will be in. What should I do? Any trade other than roofing I can get into?
Ultimatley I need to make what I am making now (around 17 an hour) to pursue education and marriage. In the long run I will have enough income from my business to work for myself. Office jobs that pay what I need to make take time to find. Union construction work is easy to come by but it is money until I get my degree and get my business up ft.
