The suspense is nail-biting. I wore a suit today. A Max Mara suit, no less. I don’t know why. It doesn’t affect the review at all. The review’s complete. I’m such a dork.
I even wore a little make-up! What the hell is wrong with me?
It’s just a review. I do great work. I work my ass off around here. \<–JuanitaTech convincing herself.
Should I print some of my betters posts from here on the Boards and take them to my review?

Good luck! I am sure it will go well.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks guys. It went well. I didn’t get an overall Excellent, though, because they changed the standards for Excellent which pretty much means I’d have to blow my boss and the CIO at the same time to achieve that as an overall. I’m working on scheduling this, by the way.
I received a Very Good. I’ll find out about my raise on Monday, it seems.

Good to know you’re flexible about those requirements for an overall excellent. I can just imagine your bosses leaning back as you service them, saying **“Ex-cellent”** in unison in their best Mr. Burns voice.
I assume they gave you those bulging sacks o’ cash and the key to the executive washroom as well? Or at least a computer generated certificate of adequacy suitable for framing if you were a complete loser.
Hey **drop** , I’ve got some empty boxes you can use when asked to clean out your desk.

Don’t use this one! betters?
You can’t give them your posts, because then they’d ask where you got them. Then they’d want to see more, and then they’d stumble over one or more cuss words in your posts, and then, and then…

and then they would take back your “Very Good” cuz they’d realize that all day long you’re posting on some message board instead of working!:eek:

You’re confusing me with the four people whose reviews were, um, less positive. My negatives were “grumpy” and “sloppy” but I supposedly am a very fast and productive worker. Imagine how productive I COULD be were it not for this place!

Our reviews are a joke. For whatever reason, we’re on a pass/fail scale. That pretty much translates to pulse/no pulse. At least it makes for easy sessions with the boss.
“You got pass. Sign here.”

My only negatives were **1)** I don’t utilize our call tracking database as much as I should and **2)** I need to send first and second level requests to the appropriate parties more often instead of (quickly and efficiently) handling them myself.

I had a review on 9/11, five minutes after I watched the south tower fall for the first time. My manager hadn’t heard anything except there was a plane crash in New York.
The review went pretty quick.

Congratulations.
Is anybody else’s company doing this also this year?
We’re supposed to rate ourselves 1-5 on these arcane, ridiculous, hard to quantify items written in corporate speak. Then it’s averaged out to one number, and the percentage of points is the percentage of the raise that you were going to get.
They told us this year that nobody could score above a 3 average. WTF?

That’s weird, **miamouse**.
I just got my performance eval ten minutes ago - Mostly "outstanding"s with a few "very good"s. It’s terribly funny, really, because I suck at my job, I procrastinate like hell, and I play on the SDMB all day.
My boss just likes me because I kiss-ass like mad.
God, I feel like such a fraud. _ashamed face_

I know how you feel. My boss described me as a “workaholic.” Pretty embarassing on one hand, but I suppose it shows how low the bar really is.

Next time that happens, hiccup and look sheepish.
