My Boss Is Better Than Me
I've been in a new job for just over 5 months and have found that I can spend a few days working on something only to find that my boss can make 2 phone calls and complete the same task!
Granted he has worked in the job for 10+ years. How do I stop beating myself up about this?

A Year Evaluated in 20 Minutes
I worked very hard in 2007 to become a skilled manager within a telecoms operations department. I had a review with a panel and I did not sell my achievements well enough to be given a pay rise.
Do you think that its fair to have the work of 1 year evaluated in 20 minutes? Should I rethink if the company I work for I giving me to opportunity I and others feel I deserve?
Thanks, Andrew Evans
