Your boss must be a jerk, murron.



That made me laugh

I work a second job and in all the years I have been working, I have never been asked to fill out a self evaluation.

I thought it was really sort of cool. I was told that my two immediate supervisors and my principal will be filling it out as well. Then we will discuss


Truly...

Yep. At our yearly reviews, we have to answer all the review questions ourselves, and our boss answers them separately, and then we get together and compare. I've only done it once so far but it was definitely interesting. There weren't many points where my boss and I differed, which is a good thing I suppose haha.

Yeah, I used to hate those things.

I figured out after the first year that they expected you to intentionally downgrade yourself to average unless you were cleaning the bathroom with your personal toothbrush on your time off with a smile on your face, so I just always ranked myself 3 out of 5 on everything, made up some stuff to improve, and was pleasantly surprised if they ranked me higher on the different categories.

Twice a year. It's an electronic process where you input your goals and submit them to your manager who approves them based on his goals. Then you come up with a measurable process to report on the completion of your goals. At eval time, you do your self assessment with ranking and electronically submit those to your manager. Your manager adds his comments and ranking, sends you the results and then you both schedule a meeting to discuss them.

It's a pain in the butt but if you don't do your assessments, you don't get a pay raise.

We have the option to do one, that our manager encourages. I don't do it...I think it's a bull**** exercise.

Intel mandates that everyone do self-evaluations every year before the end-of-year focal process. The silly thing is that for 9 months of the year you better be a team player and everything you do has to be for the good of the team, but for 3 months at the end of they you list only the things that you personally did to better the company, such as saved xx dollars by using less chemical, introduced a new procedure saving xx hours of production, etc. No one likes doing them, but we have to submit our IPS (individual performance summary) to our direct manager and then discuss all the items we listed.
