Yes, I was pretty happy about it. It was the best review and bonus I have ever had. I had some questions earlier this year about financial compensation at this company and whether it would be better to strike out on my own or go to a smaller company with a larger base pay, but this pretty much decided me on staying here. This was also the 2nd year I had to conduct a performance review on my assistant, and my manager thought it was pretty insightful. On the other hand, I got really nervous even talking to him about it even though it was a glowing review. I'm not sure how I will do if/when I am made a supervisor. I suppose it is something you partially train for and just learn by experience. They send us to all of these leadership classes that helps, but there is nothing like doing it to learn it.
