Can you hear me sigh....
At my work we have to rate ourselves. I feel that is the most painful process 1 being the worst 5 being the best. And I am pretty sure if you give yourself a 5 you look like an egotistical, delusional and self absorbed jerk...
So really you have a 1-4 to pick from and you really really don't want a 1 or a 2... so really a 3 is what you usually go for. Well, I have been in my role for 3 years, but in 3 different categories so I want to shoot for the magical 4...
But trying to remember all the fabulous-ness that I brought to each team over the 2011 fiscal year is proving to be difficult. Of course I brought it, just can't remember where I placed it. Does not make for a fun review to write.... "Really Mr. Boss - I did my job really really well - I just can't remember what I did" is not going to win me a big raise :(
So in all reality I would love to think that I would not have to write a review - that my work and my insane ability to look great doing it would speak for itself - but alas I work at a huge company and am forced to write about myself and hope to god they agree with the 4 I am going to give myself...
Boring post I know - sorry about that - maybe tomorrow an Elephant will show up painted pink in my living room and I can write about that ;)
