Performance Anxiety
Employee Evaluations are next week. I can't wait. I'm super excited!!! Aren't you?
I'm especially excited THIS year because I can't seem to find my goal sheet from the last time we were evaluated---and I guess I was supposed to keep that and refer to it every once in a while. I'm gathering this information from an email I got a few days ago from my boss.
"In conjunction with our annual review process, please prepare two documents as follows:
A self-appraisal of progress made on your 2005 goals as agreed upon last year. (Please ensure that the current self-appraisal correlates to the agreed-upon goals from last year. For example, if we agreed upon five goals from last year, then I am expecting to see, at a minimum, a self-appraisal on those same five goals.)
A list of updated goals and objectives for 2006.
Please keep both documents concise and measurable.
Please plan on having these documents prepared for discussion the week of March 20th."
First of all, no one told me to keep that thing. I just signed the piece of paper that had my 2005 goals on it, gave a copy to my boss because he asked for a copy, and then I threw it away.
Second of all, I can't believe someone expects me to acheive any goals other than not stabbing myself in the ear with my scissors, or publicly weeping.
So I have until the 20th to find the goals from 2005 that I agreed to and also come up with a whole new set of 2006 goals that I will agree to and then forget about.
Today I ran a search on my computer for anything that vaguely resembles something like a goal sheet and came up with nada. Employee Evaluation? Eval? Employee? Goals? Performance? Reviews? Sheets? Personell?
Fiction?
Nothing. Bupkus.
Which means I am going to be forced to go to my boss and ask for a copy of his copy of my 2005 goals which isn't going to say a heck of a lot about my wanting to acheive them. There's just no way out of this. No matter how I cut it, things are going to look, very, very bad.
I can't wait! I don't know about you, but I am positive I'm going to get a raise.
