Employee performance review
This year I decided to be more honest with my performance review.
The reviews have always gone well, but then again, most managers act like Stewie Griffin, placating with patronizing rhetoric, “What are your goals?”, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”
You always have to list your faults or shortcomings, self reflection, etc.
But this year I decided to go full Trump,
“I’m the best employee that ever existed…” (add your own mannerisms and best impressions).
I decided to not list any faults.
My case
In healthcare, I work near the bottom, seeing patients directly. I literally have saved people’s lives, a thousand at this point. If some people don’t get out of bed, they won’t ever.
I go into covid rooms. I get splashed with bodily fluids.
I also generate the revenue. That revenue pays my salary, but also the salaries of the full weight of the management pyramid above my head.
Their reviews
In fairness, we also get to evaluate management, although only with numbers. HR helps them Trump up their numbers. They are very pushy about making you fill out the survey. Partially because an engagement percentage is a Medicare rating for the facility.
The other reason is that the more people fill out the survey, the higher the rating. Most people will only fill out surveys when disgruntled.
My advocate
So management has a company wide HR team trying to pump up their ratings. What do I have?
Me. I am my sole and best advocate for my hard work.
P.S. For the record, I have it very easy. If I want things to change, that’s on me to make it happen.
