Permie tulipe......

[vetran]

Ah reviews.

had mine the other day, I was in the middle of the finance area fixing a user issue.

Me : Boss can I have a £10K pay rise?
Boss : No / Maybe (It'll be yes in 3 months, was last time I asked)
Me : oh dear, have I pissed you off enough you want to sack me?
Boss : No
Me : I'll see you in 6 months then.


Simples!

Recipe is this.

1 Get hired for permie job you are really keen about.
2 Do honeymoon / probation period and actually quite like it.
3 Work nuts off and do an excellent job.
4 Go for formal appraisal.
5 Get nit picked and demotivated by your line manager who is jealous of your ability.
6 Repeat steps 3 to 5 until you either or go contracting.

HTH

It was only invented to give some HR drones something to do. Any half decent manager can take the same work and same objectives and produce a fully justified appraisal across the results spectrum, from "wilmslow" to "fail" to "resounding success".

pointless middle management tier

My last appraisal, they gave me a £15,000 a year pay rise

Then took my company car away

I worked at a governnent place that had quarterly appraisals. HR has a reputation there......and the quarterly appraisals were hated by most folks I knew. I was contracting so I didn`t give a damn, quite enjoyed teasing the permies prior to their next quarterly appraisal

Well done Wilmslow.



You've nicely articulated Reason #1 Why I'm Not A Permie.

Keep up the good work for that full year appraisal.

WHS

I think I'd rather live under a bridge and drink meths.

I thank God I became freelance before this sort of tulip became fashionable.

Just got the hapf year appraisal form from my manager. Life was so much better when he was my client.

What is the point of appraisal forms? Thought we were supposed to sit down and have a joint chat - this guy has completed it and emailed over to me saying we will discuss at the next 1-1 a week away.

Thankfully mostly good, but, makes you seriously question the bollocks us permies have to go through!

I used to hate appraisals, 1-2-1s etc etc. Wot a load of complete and utter
