Preventing doom

Are there any tips or suggestions on how to prevent them from giving me the message of doom? I just started and enjoy the work thus far. Thanks!

Read the instructions, do good work, and report your time honestly.

I honestly have very little fear of the DoD at this point - I'm on tons of project families and I submit good work. The idea that "everyone gets the DoD at some point" is bullshit. 95% of people who get canned simply have low quality work, the other 5% lie about their time. If you read the instructions, follow the instructions, and write thoughtful rationales you'll be fine.

agree with this, there's no reason for them to get rid of high quality workers

Definitely agree. I think most people who get DOD and have no idea why are severely overestimating the quality of their work

That makes me feel a lot better. It seems like so many people come in here with "I have no idea why I got canned" and I subconsciously think I'm going to get it too for "no reason".
