When I did my Day 3 manifestation, one of the things I visualised was that I would run regularly in the mornings. Since then I have indeed been running regularly in the mornings.

This morning was no exception. I got up early in the morning and went running, then came back and showered and went off to the work. A healthy lifestyle.

Anyway, I used my running time to think some more about my goals. Today I thought mostly about my intentions to get promoted and to get a big bonus. I think this is an important time of the year to use the LOA on such intentions, because now is the time of the year when the organisation makes its decisions on such matters.

Some hours later, I was having lunch with a colleague who works closely with HR. She told me that the bank is doing something rather different from previous years.

There will be job cuts, and the poor performers will be asked to go. Among those who stay, there will be a rigorous process of classifying them according to their performance & potential. The general thinking is that top performers should still be paid very good bonuses, essentially at the expense of the mediocre performers (who may get zero or little bonuses, and perhaps even pay cuts).

I guess I'll just have to be assessed as a top performer.
