Weekend 3 Day 1

The most interesting thing to me today was the Gallup poll activity.

The thing that interested me were the questions about
Has anyone asked about your development?
Does someone at you school care about you personally?
Do you know what is expected of you at work?

These are the questions I don't really think about in my job. I know people care about me and I know what to do in my job, but no one has ever told me exactly what is expected in my job and no one has asked how things are going in my life. I don't think I expect it, but would it change how I approached my job? I'm not sure.
Lastly, the question about development. It is quite clear to me that people only care about the product I produce. My job emphasizes performance. If I continue to produce quality performances no one cares. If I was not able to do that, then there would be a questions about my development. It's kinda cart before the horse. I'm smart enough to only take a job I can perform well, but that is not always the case.

Just a thought.
