I was evaluated again as a TA on the level of "met expectations," which in itself isn't a problem (although I think I'm darned good at my job, and so do my students, and so do my direct superiors, and so do my coworkers).
However, attached to my TA evaluation packet was an email chain, with the first email from a woman in upper administration in the teaching office to the professor who taught the lecture portion of the lab I was teaching, saying, "We think Chris was rated far too highly. Could you provide your opinion of him as a TA from the perspective of a supervisor?"
That peeves me because that woman has never seen me work, never even talked to me, and yet she was so certain that my students, direct supervisor, and coworkers had to be wrong for giving me a good rating as a TA because I'm clearly not capable of that. At least that's how I read it.
The professor who taught the lecture sent an email back mentioning all three things she thought I did wrong this semester (two of which were not accurate, mind you), and not a single redeeming quality. So I got bumped down from Far Exceeds Expectations, a $50 reward, and a chance for a $500 raise next semester to meets expectations, which just lets me keep my job.
Maybe it's time for a little arsenic for the supervisor
