    I love it better when they say how wonderful the permies are - how indespensible - then give them 0.2%.

    One chap 2 years ago was told he was top 3 coder among 120 - then ranked 3 out of 5 out of 5000!

    Or they only talented permie who was told last year her bonus was to attend a course - she is about to go contract...

    Yes they just had a round of them here there was much unrest and congregating around the coffee machines.
    Awww the poor permies, how I hated annual appraisals, objective setting and the rest of the C.R.A.P that went with it.

    I never understood it, never will.

    Be free. Be yourself. Be professional!

    Ahah! Lucky Stu.

    I think you should try to pull her.

    Pity AtW isn't around to advise on strategy.
