Annual Self Evaluations At Work

[Tambourine Man]

Man, I hate this BS. Do all companies do these? I've been staring at my computer screen for 1/2 hour trying to come up with ways to reword the same crap I said last year. These examples we have to give are just so damn cheesy.

Commitment To Customer Care

Results Oriented

Personal Work Ethic (I'm going to be brutally honest in this section)

Building Business Partnerships

Creativity And Judgement

Anyway, these were due a month and a half ago. My boss gave me a deadline to have it in by tonight.

Edit: This stinking coworker yakking in my ear about how good the margaritas at Casa are isn't helping. Go away.

I hate that shi... stuff. I also hate when people ask you to rate yourself in certain areas on a scale from 1 to x.

Be sure to emphasize your punctuality, and tell your boss to do his own damn job.

LOL! He knows this is expected behavior from me. "Got your evaluation done?" "Oh, I completely forgot those were due. When is it really due?"

On mine, they had an: Identify a Long Term Goal

I wrote: Retire with a Pension


Boss didn't laugh.

(sigh)

My office needs to loosen up

Commitment To Customer Care Brings people commemorative WS beer bottles and gives up their baseball memorabilia to kids

Results Oriented Ties one on the right way

Personal Work Ethic (I'm going to be brutally honest in this section) ? Drives to work even when it's too hot to wear pants?

Building Business Partnerships Befriends people with strange internet monikers

Creativity And Judgement Does a mean interpretation of Bob Dylan

Done

rate yourself honestly, then bump everything up one. put a positive slant on any negatives "doesn't curse much for a Welshman" "hardly sweats for a fat guy" etc.

Okay, I gotta logout and sign off the web. I'm laughing too much to get this thing done. Thanks!

At my old company, they were terrible. Not only did you have to do them AND rate yourself 1-5, you had to write it all in third person too. "Bobby is an effective communicator..."

It was ultra-competitive too. The general thought was not that you were supposed to be honest, but give yourself awesome ratings and make the supervisor have to give justification for knocking it down a notch or two.

At the end, it was all for naught. All of the supervisors meet like 2 weeks before the self-evals anyway and rank everyone in the department so that they can meet their stupid bell curve of overall ratings. Three years in a row, my boss told me I was between a 1 and a 2 (1 is the best), but he gave me a two. The last year, I said, "Whatever. Just give me the f'ing thing and I'll sign it." I don't think he was surprised when I quit a few months later...
