For the past year at least. My manager started off by asking “how do you think you did this past year?” I didn’t know how to answer, so I broke eye contact to search the small conference for an answer. I mumbled a few “ums” then responded with “well I wasn’t fired, so that’s good.” He laughed.

My review was pretty good though, I did above average, which I will count as a win. I’m also eligible for a raise/promotion, hooray! Now to fill out the proper forms for that raise...


DISCUSSION (12)

In pursuant to sections (1), (3), (5), (7), and (69), please fill out the official Raise Eligibility Request Forms in triplicate. You must use Number 4 black ink in filling out the forms, or your application will be rejected.

Appropriately label each set of forms and mail them to the locations specified in section (5). Each of the forms must arrive within 3 business days (but not 5 calander days) at their designated locations, or your raise request will be rejected. Each Raise Request Receiving And Processing Center outlined in section (7) must recieve the correctly labled Raise Eligibility Request form set, or your application will be rejected.

Any errors detected on either set of Raise Eligibility Request Forms will result in a rejection. 6 or more errors will result in a $1.00 reduction in pay, adjusted for inflation relative to 1957. Thank you, and good luck on your raise request form application!

That’s funny. I literally just got out of mine. Sadly I am a manager lol, so I can get no additional paper. Such is life, but hey....Monte Carlo WRC is going down, Go Meeke!

If only it was that easy. I have to write a few paragraphs selling myself. I hate selling myself. I much prefer stating facts than to make myself seem like an amazing awesome person.

When I was a young un, my reviewer happened to be a partner that I had done a lot of work for and we had become friends. I knew I was going to get a similar question, so I had taken a sheet of the firm’s letterhead (700+ lawyer firm), added my name at the end of the firm’s name, and when asked just slid it across the desk with a smile. He thought it was so hilarious that he then showed several other partners, who then started telling partners in other offices about it. Not all found it as funny as the people who knew me did.

So difficult. I hate this part. We are all supposed to update our resume on file this month. I’ve been here for 15 years... and my resume is 15 years old. I guess it’s overdue for an update!

It’s the “why am i awesome without making me seem too awesome.” stuff. But it can't be made up! So it has to be based in reality but also make you seem more important than you really are, -_-.

At my soon-to-be ex-job, we are given performance review templates where we have to assemble our own performance reviews, except we have no input on the things on which we are judged, we just have to make our own version of the form from the template based on what our HQ tells us to put on there, but put it in our own words, except not really, because we copy and paste the objectives we’re supposed to achieve from a different template, but the act of copying and pasting is somehow supposed to make it feel like we’re being held to standards which we helped create, even though the only thing we’ve done is waste a bunch of time copying and pasting stuff into an unintelligible 7 page long document.

Man I’m so happy I’m leaving.
