the dreaded annual slave-labourer appraisal has arrived. in fact, i was handed that godawfulshadeof pink form last friday by the gaffer during one of them time-wasting braincell-depleting "meetings".
i was scheduled this friday at 14:00 hours WIST for the wee review with the gaffer. i have yet looked through it 'cos i know it'd be the same old questions rehashed. to think we had just under a week to fill it up with ego-boosting self-praise. apart from rating ourselves to show how worthy we are to the company.
or how worthy we think we are to the company. inflating our self-worth by writing down improvements we assume we have made to our work ::yawn::
which actually meant if we were had been thoroughly assimilated. completely turning into one of 'em feckless spastics. so beloved by equally feeble-minded two-faced manager's.
and then when the time comes to face the gaffer, peering at the godawfulshadeof blue form on his desk, comparing your own and his ratings of you, the slave; they almost always are the exact opposite.
in other words, performance appraisals are futile, totally one-sided and an utter sham. not to mention, ego-bruising. oh yes, i have one *massive* ego.
honestly, if anyone were to say they are either looking forward to it; or don't mind going through this entire crapxercise, they must have come from a different planet altogether.
or should go have their brains examined.
oh yes, i AM bitter. 'cos i suspected the gaffer fibbed about changes in the overall points system that resulted in yours truly missing out on a wage increment last july. 'cos the slave labour relations folk didn't make any announcement to us.
no matter, he has lost my respect due to one particular incident. as to how come, i'll reserve another day to vent my spleen.
as enscribed by the letter b @ May 3, 2004 03:43 AMbloody hell. you and i know bloody hell where they got that $$$ from. and then they telling us to lower our expectations, be frugal, and other nonsensical bollocks.
and of all the sovereign nations, only the wee isle's trade union(s) has affiliations with the govt. beyond logical reasoning that.
