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

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
