I have an annual meeting with the management but it's not very detailed -- two years they've basically given no feedback, and one year they were like "we heard from someone about a time when you failed to make it clear that you were busy with other projects and then you didn't have as much time to devote to their project as was needed" -- just about that vague, and I was thinking "I literally have no idea what the fuck you are talking about but ok"

you gotta fight ambiguity with ambiguity
one good response to "we heard from someone about a time when you failed to make it clear that you were busy with other projects and then you didn't have as much time to devote to their project as was needed" is "i will explore opportunities to identify the times when i failed to clear enough time for a project and take action as appropriate"

"I am already implementing solutions"

This opacity sounds great. In Sales someone just looks at a spreadsheet and tells you if you can come back next year.

Just finished my last one--the next, five years from now, would be in my retirement year, and I think they give you a pass inside of two years. ("This guy's incompetent...we just noticed now!")

Just finished my annual review (without my getting medieval on my TL's or PM's ass \o/)! I still hate the concept and process, but hey.
Also, the PM hinted that she regards me as Team Lead material. LOL no. I do not see myself as the stuff of which management is made.

due by 5pm on the first day after a holiday break
At least our corporate overlords do not insist on Maoist self-criticism 'struggle' sessions.

these can be p stupid but i would make what u want out of it; it's just a generic form to prompt your thoughts. i never stick to the exact structure. also always a good opportunity to talk about what you did right!

Hate that shit so much. This will be the third year in a row where my superiors will passively mention certain unfulfilled work goals that I've passively assented to year after year and never fulfilled and never had any intention of fulfilling because they have no intention of paying me to fulfill goals above and beyond my day-to-day responsibilities so...yeah. Fuck that.

just bc they're you're supervisors doesn't mean they are your superiors! big difference. we're all just people here, i don't really care what your title is tbh.
― surm, Tuesday, 3 January 2017 20:47 (seven years ago) link
i think the biggest pain about these is just the bureaucratic paperwork and having to summarize the work ive done in dumb HR terms
― marcos, Tuesday, 3 January 2017 20:48 (seven years ago) link
xpost Yeah, I don't really sweat that because no one's the boss of me.</gen-x>
