This bothers me, but my boss says this "completely professional."


So three times this year, my boss has had to talk to me about minor mistakes I've made. These are things that I was unaware of or just dropped the ball. But all three times, my boss has said something to the effect of, "Well, I gave you a raise, so you should be doing a better job." I'm paraphrasing, but the mention of being paid more (because I have a different job that is contracted for 11 months instead of 10) was brought up. I told her this bothered me and I think it's unnecessary. She claims it's totally professional to bring up my increase in pay. I'm just wondering if that's true. Is that a reasonable/professional thing to do or is it unnecessary?

I think feedback can be good because it helps us improve.

But, it’s also important how it is given.

I feel that he could have definitely delivered it in a better way. So, I get how her bringing up your raise upset you.💜
