I can say this is a sequel of my previous blog. I wanted to mention about it in my previous blog itself, but was worried whether it would bother my friend who shared her experience with me….But surprisingly when I told her about my ‘Appraisal Fever’ blog she insisted me to write about her experience too…:)
Boss: I am appreciate your performance from last appraisal.
[Don’t get confused this is how his English is-just an sample I can’t continue in the same filthy English coz I’m afraid whether I’ll lose my vocabulary]
My Friend: Ok
Boss: Why have you rated ‘B’ for certain tasks?
MF: I was not assigned any such tasks so I thought it is not fair to rate myself ‘A’.
Boss: Since you were working on a more important task and it is my mistake to have not assigned you those tasks I give you ‘A’.
MF: Ok
Boss: Do you need a promotion?
MF: Will any one deny?
Boss: But I think you don’t deserve one.
MF: Ok
Boss: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah………………….
MF: Whatever….OK
So by this time you’ll think this is all over……but No
------------------------------
Episode 2: After a Couple of days……
When both MF and her boss are in a meeting with some one else, who has a very good opinion about MF.
Boss: I think you could have performed better.
MF:???????
Boss: You had so many opportunities to prove yourself but you didn’t utilize it…
MF: ………………………………?????????!!!!!!!!!!!------------
Bosses are always unpredictable...............
ReplyDeleteAh man..No clue about how ppl work here...
ReplyDeleteAppraisals are kinda unheard of in this part of the world atleast! :-s
Bosses are always weird.... Infact, I hv started writg a post abt weird bosses..expect it soon.
ReplyDeleteIts very unfortunate..it happens in many organisations.highly qualified & technical whiz kids when promoted as managers or bosses exhibit very poor HR skils & this results in them unable to communicate and take their junior colleagues along. its sad

ReplyDeletei don't know why in appraisals the boss talks and employees only say an 'Ok'. we give them a space, he rules.
i just don't blame managers as they were also like the ones on the otherside of the seat.
had fun reading it... lol poor friend... oh yeah... remember scouts and guides motto..? - ur turns comes soon...

ReplyDelete@Vasu
ReplyDeleteOhh ok..Got u.
I hate doing appraisals, because, firstly, its so boring and repetitive, secondly its judgmental (who the hell am I to judge someone's behavior - (we have work and behavior appraisals) and thirdly, I know whats going on in their heads - Get a life you #$#%$#%!!!
