So about a week or so ago I had my year end evaluation since I just made it past the one year mark at work. My manager said that it's great having me here and that I am doing a good job but then she throws this comment at me.......
and i'm paraphrasing............
"You never really talk to us managers about anything though"
You don't talk to us about your goals and expectations for this job and where you want to go"
umm..... Why do I have to?
Granted when they are around I occasionally engage in brief small talk but its not like I ignore them
Obviously I like what I do and i'm still here after a year.
I know how to do my job and I don't get complaints about it so what exactly is the problem?

Maybe you'd like a promotion somewhere down the line, maybe you got ideas on how to improve things at work. Stuff like that. The way i understand it, and i don't know you or your boss, but maybe they just want some feedback.
We get evaluations like those at my job too, and that's one of the purposes they serve. Anyway, that's just the vibe i'm getting by reading your post.

They probably just don't want you to start thinking you don't have room to improve for fear that you will start coasting and stop performing at the same level.

It isn't about ass kissing at all, they are trying to gauge how dedicated you are. Something you should be showing to them anyway.

I think places use this an an excuse to got give people a raise.
"You're really great at what you do but . . . . you don't spend half the day just talking and yapping it up like everyone else."
I'm a fairly quiet person and I always seem to get this critique. I come to work to make money working. Not to talk or plot on how I can take somebody elses job.

What she described isn't ass-kissing whatsoever. It sounds like she just wants more of a dialogue with you.

This isn't what I thought the thread would be about. Same, probably because I first read it as "Apparently I suck ass at kissing" then when I read it correctly I wasn't thinking about figurative ass kissing at all. |

I dunno I've never been one to freely commingle with management thats sucking up in my book. I'm more of the type to get where I am by showing how good I am and not by being buddy buddy with management.

Honestly I only talk to my managers if I need supplies like a broom, that or if the other cart attendants blame me for their mistakes I point the fallacies out. Other than that I keep to myself socialize on my break if other people are in the break room but for the most part I do my job and just keep to myself

Talking to managers about your job isn't sucking up to them or kissing their asses. Without us knowing exactly what was said it's hard to say for sure but I can't see how you've got to ass kissing from what she said to you.
It also might be that while it seems clear to you that you enjoy the job it would appear that it's not so clear to others.

Female manager wants you to talk to her more? Sounds like she wants to ride The Diesel Train. You should totally hit on her.
