STRENGTH: Resourceful, level-headed, crafty, intelligent, dependable, reliable, a time-keeper, a team player but able to work unsupervised and/or alone, adapting fast to any environment, extremely patient, able to work under complete duress and within really crass short notice [or die trying], able to withstand and deliver all ridiculous demands [within the bounds of propriety]. In short - I'm the best person for this job and you will not do well to lose me.
Yuck! I sound like a Supergirl, a lioness, a chameleon, a platypus, a flamingo, an eel, a panther, a zombie!
Arrghhhhh!!!
I loath doing my own appraisal. Especially if 6 months have passed by and I have lost all track and time on what the pffftt I have been doing all this time. I wrote them all down all that I did and still it didn't quite record everything, all the heartaches, the pain, the dizziness, the indecision, the sleepless nights, the panic attacks, the rows, the little riffs, the pats on the back, the thumb ups, the friendships built, etc.
I've been working for 11 years and the appraisal is something I have always hated doing. If it weren't for the fact that the appraisal is much needed, I wont wish it on anyone. Loath! Loath! Loath! Loath! Loath!
Coffee, anyone?
I hate it too... Mcm masuk bakul angkat sendiri, my bakul is too heavy la..
ReplyDeleteCoffee Girl serba boleh bah... ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf it's for job reason- you just have to do what you need to do. However, it seems all positive to me.

ReplyDeleteA must do exercise.. equally difficult for the appraisees as well as the appraisers especially in a super-stingy organisations or upper management.
yes please. black coffee..no sugar. thanks!
ReplyDeleteeh? hahaha
I for one, does not believe in appraisal, i believe in talking and sorting out,training and guiding,,, you see only after a spate of months, you baru do appraisal,so hard to change lah, if i find my staff lacking in some areas,i will talk it out with them,get them to improve,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteNo choice - have to blow your own horn! In this world, nobody is going to blow for you- all too busy blowing their own and trying to blow the loudest!
ReplyDeleteIvynana: itu lah, bunyi pun fake jak kan. ada org lagi la hebatnya engkah... haha
ReplyDeleteMs Tikot: coffee pot serba boleh. hihi
MLM: of cos we need to put in the positive, but sometimes who knows u better than the person u work with, right?
Wan Sharif: you're right. i wont wanna be either one if i had a choice. but gotta go what we gotta do. esp if the appraisal determines our err bonuses, in which case that is too poor a measurement or reward. sigh...
Hanie: hahaha! i like my coffee black too. keeps you awake all day with a grim face! eh? apa kaitan? LOL
Eugene: me too. how to do appraisal when u dont set a target in the beginning? hmm... how to set a target thats realistic enough when there;s too many adhoc stuff to deal with too. hmm...
suituapui: ahaha ur right again. sigh... if only we dont have to blow at all, and let people just observe us at work.
ReplyDeletewat to do? buat je la...
ReplyDeleteone ice cappuccino pls :)
You are still so young and your horn is blasting so loud. Wait till you reach my age, you might need a whole band to play the orchestra for you! LOL
ReplyDeleteLuciana: kopi o peng? :-) dah abis dah
ReplyDeleteTwilight Man: hahaha i sound so unrealistically excellent! no lah, by the time i reach your age, i'd already be my own boss so i need to hear other people blow their own horn pulak.
Same here.. haiyah... the fact you kena puji diri so that you get good marks just don't write well in my books..
ReplyDeleteCyril: ya kan? it wud be easier for someone else to do it. sigh...
