What a conversation!

"You need an all-round improvement. It includes writing, editing and page-making. What you write is just basics. Some of your reports are plainly awful. Even the local and around stuffs that you write, have many mistakes. You ed
ited copies need editing," the boss said.

"It is high time man! your really need to pull up your socks if you are interested in working here. You need to elaborate what you write in your copies. Explain the match. Don't just write the summary. I need the details. Tell me, did you ever play in any sport," he added.

Recently, my seniors reviewed my performance, and let's just say the outcome was far from favorable. I was under the impression that I was doing alright, not excelling, but at least meeting the basic requirements. However, the feedback suggested otherwise, leading to an extension of my training period.

During the review, my boss didn't mince his words. I was expecting some positive feedback, but what I got was a reality check. His tone and choice of words were like a clear message – shape up or ship out. It was almost laughable, in a twisted way, how off-mark I was about my own performance. I wanted to yell, "Are you blind?" but I managed to keep my composure.

We were always told to keep our reports simple, avoid 'flowery words', and I did just that. Sure, I'm not perfect, mistakes were made, but I learned from them, or so I thought. These lessons, I believed, were making me a better professional.

The first few months were a struggle, adapting to new changes and dealing with language barriers. But I pulled myself together, got my act straight, and worked diligently. Maybe it's my attitude or my reserved nature in not mingling much with the seniors, even though I have good relationships with my colleagues.

With my future here hanging by a thread, I'm facing a dilemma. But it's clear that I need to own up to my actions and find a way to tackle these issues head-on.

Meanwhile, I must focus on improving my work, taking responsibility for my actions, and facing these challenges with a clear head.
