As a result of working on projects at ClientCo alongside a couple of perm staff, I'm now being asked to evaluate their recent performance to aid in the performance review process. I can see that being completely truthful has the potential to burn bridges with these guys (it'll be clear where the feedback came from) and doesn't appear to gain me anything.
Can anybody think of a creative response to this request, as the best idea I've come up with is to be overwhelmingly positive regarding the performance of these guys. I can't help but think this will be seen as a cop-out.
As a sidenote, I know the "correct" response would be to state that "There is no mention of performance review-related activity on my contract, I'm here to deliver technical solutions, I'm not part-and-parcel of this organisation, blah blah blah".
However, I don't want to be out of the door at the time of next renewal having upset a couple of managers for being uncooperative - this is a good working environment with a nice bunch of guys and there's nothing remotely comparable out there on Jobserve.
Thanks.
