actually, the raise wouldn’t come into effect until the next term; and that’s after it gets voted on.

Anyone have annual reviews? I am writing up mine right now. It’s a bit weird to evaluate yourself.

Oh God! I had to do that at Albany Med. Sooo dumb!

I was written up this year, but I hope to have a good review under my new mgmt. Not sure how that affects my raise, if at all. God there are some damned aweful people in charge out there FTL. Chill factor just thinking about my old supervisor.

It has pros/cons but it’s pointless if people are just going to check “EXCELLENT” across the boards. My company does very strict review process at mid year and final year as well as DAP (Development Action Plans) which is aligned for you to complete objectives to bring you forward to move up the chain.

Ugh I had mine due a few weeks ago. Always a pain, but I usually write it well so I make out good on it every year.

Are you honest about yourself? There are always things to improve upon.

We had our reviews back in November… I had to do a self evaluation, and then sat down with the boss to talk about it. We pretty much agreed on most of the stuff, and then he asked me to do a couple more pet projects that weren’t in there over this next year… Sneaky, but at least we agreed on the rest of it…

Yes very honest about it. My managers know me and the quality of my work. No reason to check excellent on everything, there is a whole section for “development needed”. A lot of people here just spew BS, it usually doesn’t get them the promotion they want :lol
