These are like a broken pencil - pointless

Yes.

 

[Curious Orange]

I'm not enamoured with being on either side of an appraisal - though it is nice to tell the staff that you really are pleased with the work they're doing.

Boss: "How do you think you are doing?"

You: "I think I am doing OK"

Boss: "So do I, but I would like you to completely change that and do things differently and I will measure you again in six months"

You: "OK"

that is the sort of appraisal I like

 

[Blackadder]

I've got to do mine (5 of them) in the next month or so.

I hate doing them.

My one with my boss should prove interesting.

We dont have things like that at work, We just work in the simple princible that if you dont get called into the office for a bollocking then you must be doing something right.

So do you all get the same % pay rise as well ?

Yeah it's a standard pay rise across the board.

I would'nt know where to start if they asked me! What do you have to do then?

Point of order mr Chairman

Appraisals should not be about pay increases. They are there to discuss your performance based on agreed targets.

 

[dwayne]

complete nonsense and bare no relation to bonus.

Yes we know that but it all adds up to the pay review (if there is one)

 

[Dave the OAP]

Yes but it shouldn't.

Pay reviews are normally based on wether the company can afford it ( hense you get a %age rise) or based on a lump sum that your manager thinks you are worth.

In our place, objectives and appraisals are for Bonus only.

That explains why I dont do them then, I have'nt got any agreed targets to meet.

Revenue and margin targets plus whatever anal quality / security ISO standard we go for.

Also service improvements

Bonus is based on a further set of objectives (cut and pasted from the appraisal ones)

 

[Ding Dong !]

Used to find them a complete waste of time.

Glad I'm now self employed, so I don't have to go through all that drivel again !!!!

It all sounds very complicated and there's no way i'd let my manager assess my anal quality for a start.
