Self-Appraisals at Work

[Crixtala]

anybody else have to do this bullshit...?

it's getting to be the time of year where we're getting close to our yearly reviews for pay raises and all that good stuff. BUT, before we can do all of that, we have to go through a whole system, grade ourselves on certain criteria based on our jobs and write out our reasoning for each grade. we basically review ourselves.

i've worked for this company for over 10 YEARS and this has never made sense to me. nothing i ever say in these things is EVER brought up in my reviews and they have no impact on the final review that my manager gives me. the company even urges us to use previous self-appraisals (if we're still in the same position as previous years) to help us answer the same questions again a year later. so what the hell is the point? drives me nuts!

My advice. Give yourself a B or the equivalent on everything and f*ck it. Shows you feel you can improve and you also feel you are contributing.

technically I have to do this everyday.. and not for anyone else other than myself.

so no?
