I recently had my yearly evaluation. I had a really good review. My manager, however, said I need to improve my picking up extra shifts (she included this on my official report to HR)

I understand we all have to pitch in to help. I do as needed. However, my mom has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and is undergoing chemo. My (serious) boyfriend’s dad is also in hospice care. My manager is aware of all this. I have not called in once this year - I even come in early every time they ask.

In addition, my co workers have gone behind my back in the past and complained to my manager I wasn’t picking up as much (my brother had a Covid wedding) - I told my manager about the wedding and she just told me to make sure my coworkers know that I had the wedding(which they did). They say I’m “young and healthy and live close so it’s easy to pick it up”

I just feel almost targeted and extra pressure now to pick up despite my crazy life right now, I’m already full time. I was wondering if a manager can include how much I’m able to pick up on an evaluation like that to HR? Like I said, it makes me feel targeted I could be in the wrong here, just wondering input. Thanks ☺️

I find that managers like to find SOMETHING that can be approved upon. It sounds like you had a near perfect eval, and the only thing she could bring up was your not picking up extra shifts... which is not a negative so almost anyone who would read it. 

If you can't find ANYTHING to improve upon, you don't make up *** things.
