Performance Evaluations
Ugh...
Does anyone else dread filling out their self evaluations?
That is all.

Re: Performance Evaluations
Yes.
Absolutely dreaded filling out my self-evaluation earlier this year. I always hate evaluations. This year's was especially tough, because I knew I had to go in and put on a happy face, talking about how many things I was looking forward to accomplishing this year. In actuality, the only thing I'm looking forward to is finding a new job, so pretending I was happy to be there was not enjoyable! I felt very phony.
Even if you like your job, though, evaluations still can be stressful.

Mine is due soon and I'm dreading it. At my past jobs I used to love them because I knew exactly what my bosses thought of me and that they loved me. My boss now is crazy and mean so I'm freaked out. I've also heard her say she doesn't think she's written a good evaluation until she's come up with lots and lots of things people are doing wrong and need to improve on.
I know the hardest part will be to not get defensive, since she likes to criticize me for things that don't make sence or didn't happen. I've learned its better to be quiet and let her tire herself out than to explain that she actually assigned a project to someone else and that it was done months ago anyway (seriously happened) so I'm picturing a hour of me nodding silently and crying on the inside. I'm sure there will also be some condescending compliments.
Yes!
I know I do a fantastic job but the self eval always feels like I have to justify this with ratings and actual examples. I think sometimes we do them just to make our supervisor's life easier! Really I know how I am doing in my job, why is this necessary?
