Appraisals @ work
Well, it's that time of year again. As sure as the pumpkin's come out and the Xmas decorations hit the stores, we have to face the annual Performance Review.
I have just attended Another course (1 per year, now) on evaluating staff. This is pretty subjective stuff, but they want us to present it in an objective way as this will effect their total comp. for the year. (we live on Bonuses).
Anyone else been either the target or (worse IMO,) the deliverer of one of these ? I mean this thing can fuck up a year for someone. I would like to have every single person deliver an appraisal because they would experience the "other" side. Unfortunately there are a few people who have to make the "decision" and justify it. I already know who should get what, and also know on that same criteria what I should get.
I guess I'm asking how do you deal with those who won't accept the bad news? Also anyone else who delivers these things, is it a discussion or is it a statement?
PS: A DSaR (Document, Search, and, Recover) won't reach here, as long as it's anonymous.
