2007 Job/Performance Reviews and Goals
« on: January 03, 2007, 08:39:44 PM » |
|
Since it's either just been or is that time of year ... just wondering if anyone had a particularly interesting review or received noteworthy objectives for the coming year.
Assuming you people actually have jobs.

Very timely post Clive. I have my review at 1:00pm tomorrow.
I will endeavor to let my fellow Golfho's in on any oddities that come up. I had to complete my "self" review the week before Christmas. We had a new format this year which was interesting and very much reminded me of my daughter's report cards from 1st and 2nd grade.
Please allow me to come back to this tomorrow afternoon.

Unacceptable, fuzz. I have a very short attention span. Post now or not at all.

Had my review 4 weeks ago, got an "exceeds expectations" rating, which carried with it a whopping 3% increase. Nothing worth mentioning came up.

I went up 3.8%. In your face, bitch!
(COLA was 3.3%, IIRC.)

After running some quick numbers with an actual calculator and not my feeble brain, it turns out my increase was actually 3.74%. I guess I can still suck on that .06% though.

Had my review in July. Not unlike spaceage, I "exceed expectations " in every category. Matters, not.  My pay is based on a "time in career" scale. So I got: A whole lot of Jack Squat!  Sux. I'm stuck. Cost of living goes up, but.......... |

You're mean Clive.  I'll give you a taste......... I wish I had it in front of me but there were 4 or 5 areas that needed responses. But the kicker was they were titled "Passion" "Execution" "Insight" "Vision" "Results" or some such totally cool corporate speak. I'll correct any I may have missed. We needed to show examples of how the things we did the past year fit into these areas. There was some guidance but it was all I could do to keep from writing things such as "fuzz executes on respecting other people's space" "fuzz has a passion for learning. he's not good at it yet but it will come" "fuzz is a real hard try-er and I'm expecting good results soon" Anyway, tomorrow I get to sit down with my manager and find out if he saw things the same way. And at the end of the day I'll get a nice 3% raise. |

I should mention our company merged with another company last year so this was a new review process.
In the past we had the "Outstanding" "Exceeds Expectations" "Meets Expectations" "Below Expectations" "How are you still working here?" format based on objectives set at the beginning of the year.
But with the merger and subsequent re-org(s) the objectives got somewhat out of whack and the two HR departments came up with a kludged, touchy-feely review format.

In the interest of full disclosure, I whipped mine out, too. 3.77%. So suck half as long as you'd originally planned. Or half as hard. Or twice as hard, but for only one-fourth the time. Hey, this calculator is fun! |

Who does the review? My manager. Who's a dude. So the whole touchy-feely thing gets a little weird. I fear I've said too much already. |
