Does anybody else have to do self-evaluations at work?

[TZ]

I can't stand doing it. If I give myself praise I feel like an egotistical jerk..If I don't say nice things about myself I feel like I'm being fake..false modesty and all that. Gargh.
Its so hard for me to write objectively about my work skills. Does anybody else have to do this crap?

-- Talk about the Washington Reagan Nationals
-- Post cat pictures on DU.
-- Irritate fellow DU'ers with your incessant talk about Tony Romo.

What else?

i actually try and be honest in my critique of myself maybe even a little more critical. (so it is still not a bad review)

I'd be more shocked if people DIDN'T have to. :shrug:

gawd i cant stand those
when i was at sucky american express, we did those
and you would give yourself something, but they would only have so many 5's or 4's
so it was like it didnt even matter anyway

5. They tried this - it was a glorious train wreck

HR got this bright idea to do internal self- and team-evaluations as a team-building exercise.

They tried it on themselves first and it seemed to work fine. (gee, go figure) :shrug:

Then they tried it on us, a fully functioning team.

It was supposed to be a full day exercise, but we blurted out all the right answers in the first five minutes and spent the rest of the time banding together as a team to torpedo the proceedings. They sent us home before lunch and abandonned the entire mis-begotten project.

6. Yep

One year, I actually wrote "I am AWESOME!!". No one noticed. Now I just copy what I wrote the year before.

7. Yup.

And worse, I have to use smiley faces to do it.

:wtf:

I can add text later, but the main rating is done via smiley.

Thats too funny. I'm just happy to have an autowriter who can fill in and make the comments more or less positive....:rofl:
