Year end performance appraisal 2007

This time was refreshingly quick*, finishing within a clean half-hour, with both of us trying to rush it. My scores dropped as expected**, but *** SENSITIVE DATA DELETED *** I was better off focusing on the big picture. That seemed to sit well with her.

Overall it was still an above average mark, but it was not encouraging, that she was never able to move beyond her original perception. For the fifth time or so, I was exposed to another variation of this speech:

*** SENSITIVE DATA DELETED *** I chose to humbly agree with her, and asked for a pay increment.

*The June appraisal took 2 hours.
**Its the trend with appraisals by her


*Quote of the day*
Never underestimate the power of the human mind to believe what it wants to believe, no matter the conflicting evidence.
