Have my first 1-on-1 check in with my boss (which I requested) after a not so stellar performance review. Any advice for a game plan going in?

The two things I can think of when it comes to a review are: What have I accomplished? What is a mistake I’ve made and how did I learn from it?

I think sharing your value will build your case while acknowledging any mistakes you’ve made and how they helped you will show you’re human but also wanting to do better.

If not clear from your performance review, I’d also try to clearly define what’s expected of you to succeed in your role. Maybe then set goals with yourself and keep your boss updated with the progress of those goals.

Wish you the best.

Our team morale is pretty bad and we’ve had a couple of people leave because of it.

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative.

I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
