New year and time for reviews

That’s the time of the year again.  All employees received an email last month to remind them of the deadline when we need to complete and submit our self-evaluation to our managers.  January 11 is the deadline.  Boss came over yesterday and told me to get my self eval out soon.  To be honest, I totally forgot about this self eval crap.  I had to go through a year’s worth of stuff and put them down if I achieved my objectives or not.  Actually I copied and pasted them. 

One thing good about this performance system is it allows the employee to log their daily performance (if they want to) and whatever it’s on the log can be copied and pasted to the self-evaluation/mid-year check-in sections.  Also, I can review who are the stakeholders reviewing my performance, and mid-year review, too, from current to pass years.  Employees definitely cannot run away from this system.  It tracks the employee’s every single clicks, and if there is no action done within the specified timeframe, an email will be sent to the employee to act on the action.  

What I’m looking forward is the increment, and that is even if there is any.  Who knows, I might think I achieved my objectives, but my boss said I didn’t.  No meeting goals, no increment.   I will have to wait till April 11 to sit down with my boss for the review.
