This Evaluation Is Just Radioed In

(After my first performance evaluation, my boss gave me some tips to follow to improve my radio show. I took his advice to heart, and applied it to my show. This happens during my second performance evaluation, after he finished listening to a recent sample of my radio show.)

Boss: “Wow. I was not expecting you to do that.”

Me: “What? What did I do?”

Boss: “You actually took my advice, applied it, and got better.”

Me: “Was I not supposed to do that?”

Boss: “Look. I’ll be honest with you. Most people just ignore my advice and keep doing what they’re doing. I fully expected you to do that, too. All I was going to do today was repeat what I told you last time.”

Me: “So, do you have any other advice?”

Boss: “Nope. We’re done here.”
