WAW Hired a Divorce Coach (Cont7.)

[Mumin]

I was a highly rated employee, top of the class every year. During my sitch my job performance plummeted. I had just taken a promotion into a new role right in the middle of my sitch. I got off to such a bad start that I got my worst review in years. My manager told me "This would have been an even worse review but mid-year you turned it around and now are performing at top levels." I have been highly reviewed the last two years as a result. It is hard to concentrate when you are so distracted with the failed marriage taking up so much head space.

Steve that is exactly what just happend to me. First negative review ever, a few weeks ago. First time I am not eligible for bonus or salary-bump.
HOWEVER, it didnt bother me at all. It was exoected.
I actually told my own manager and our CEO about everything that was going on, less than month after BD.
It was a huge relief that they knew. They also paid for a very expensive IC.
We set individual goals at my company and my number 1 goal for 2020 was to feel mentally stable.
IN fact thats a pretty great goal also for the comapny because they risk loosing great resource and instead pay insurance if I was to go in to full depression.

Not sure if you have Scott, but conisder talking to your manager/boss.
