an honest appraisal???

you will never prosper.

You have to do it politically.

It was awful. 'You need to step up','You need to pull your socks up','You need to man up'. It was horrible. I can't believe he kept saying that to me!

[mudskipper]

Just had to give someone an honest appraisal and not a good one. I feel like a ****

It is the apraisee's job to make the appraiser feel like a ****. Or that's how I remember it.

It was crap. I was being apologetic. If I'd been a contractor I could have punched him.

As I've already said

Get out and go back to what you enjoy doing.

I used to love end of year appraisals when I was a permie.
It was the only time of year that my boss told me what I was supposed to have been doing. The ****.

I love end of year appraisals

I love end of year appraisals, now that I'm not a permie anymore.

It is sooooo satisfying watching all the permies being pulled in one by one and then afterwards complaining for a week to anyone who will listen "I was critisised for ...xyz".

Really it's just an excuse by the weak management for not giving a pay rise to people, but it's dressed up as "performance management" or "personal development". Utter rubbish, and totally demotivating to 95% of the permie workforce.

Best one I had was a boss who thought appraisals were just bulltulip, so said appraisal involved going down the local pub and having beers and a curry and avoiding talking about work and then telling me to write my own appraisal

I'm employee of the month.
That's about 50 in a row......

[Old Greg]

I just appraised myself. It turns out that I'm unreliable, rude and work-shy. Fortunately, I get to keep my job anyway so I'm glad I didn't try any harder.
