Hi, Veronica.
2
Thank you so much for joining me for your yearly review and to see if you're going to be receiving an increase.
3
So I just wanted to go over really quickly some of the feedback that we've gotten from some of your managers.
4
Essentially, you've been doing great.
5
You know, the scoring system is between a one to a five
6
and you basically got 3 .5 to four across the board, which is great.
7
We don't give anyone a five because I feel like there's always room for improvement.
8
So we never give anyone a five.
9
Okay.
10
So why is the score of five there?
11
If it's unattainable, why is it even on there as an option?
12
The score of five is there so that you can always have something that you want to achieve.
13
Like you always want to reach for the five.
14
Um, so it's the maximum increase that you're going to receive is going to be a 5%.
15
If you get a five, anything under a five, it's just going to be a little less.
16
So for yours, it's going to be, you're going to receive a 3 % increase.
17
Okay.
18
Just because it is under that score of five
19
so I brought with me a couple of my um projects
20
that I've worked on this year and let me just read you this feedback
21
that I got on this one um Veronica did an excellent job she was very thorough
22
and delivered her project before the due date okay this one
23
says Veronica is very proactive she always anticipates my needs
24
and was able to deliver an exceptional project
25
and this one says another slam dunk great job i cannot wait for our next project together
26
so i guess my question is throughout the year
27
when i'm doing these projects and receiving feedback stating
28
that i'm doing excellent um how does
29
that not translate to an excellent score of five
30
when it comes time to give me my increase somehow some way at the end of the year
31
when i'm getting my review i'm less than excellent i'm average versus the above average comments that I've gotten throughout the year.
32
It's almost like the comments that I get throughout the year
33
while I'm working do not match with what the comments are when it comes down to me getting my increase.
34
So I'm not accepting 3%.
35
I need my increase to reflect the work that I've done throughout the rest of the year.
36
So, you know, if you can work on that, that'd be wonderful.
37
um well I can't authorize any additional uh increase so
38
I guess what I could do is take it back to leadership
39
and see what their thoughts on everything are
40
because I just can't approve it right now I can't approve more than three percent well I appreciate
41
that I'll be waiting for your response

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
