It's not so different in the US either. My previous manager has indirectly referenced delaying my green card process if I didn't deliver on time.

Re:The driverless truck is coming, and it’s going to automate millions... on Tuesday April 26, 2016 @12:07PM (#11573038)

I see the evolution of automated vehicles as slowly taking more and more mental load off humans. e.g

1) Automated gears and obstacle detection - we already have this. 2) Have the truck stay in one lane and maintain distance - We're close. This means humans stay in truck and solve the hard problems when encountered. (Kind of like pilots) 3) Automated port to port driving without humans. 4) Destination to destination driving without humans.

New manager sees me as a under performer, while the previous one mentioned that I might be due for a promo. How do I bring the topic to my new manager of 1 month that the last 3 years should at least...
