What I know about Pat, my manager. My own notes. - Pat cares most about the on-time rate. It is on the wall in the office. - At the July all-hands the owner said budgets are "tight until the holiday season." - Pat hates surprises. Wants things in writing before a meeting. - Raises get decided in the November budget meeting. Pat submits requests by October 30. - My last review (2025) said: "Great on-time work. Needs to delegate more and stop doing everything yourself." - Pat once said in a meeting that market surveys "don't know our margins."
