F2F Class Notes 26th February (Jesse)[S]***

***review this writing next class

last monday or tuesday i had a talk with my boss one on one. in fact it is a routine talk because my boss wants to know what i am thinking about my work or what’s my plan of my work because she thinks I took not positive but not negative. in the past my work attitude was much better than now so she found that i maybe have been in the down situation for one or even more months so she talked with me and i told her that because i thought maybe in this company there won’t be any promotion (pr) opportunities for me so I am not the kind of person that I can work without reward.
