We don't usually get mine decided to some time in the middle of the year (like I'll get my 2014 goals in July 2014, after half the year is gone), and are usually irrelevant within weeks. One guy here never got his 2013 goals, the entire year (I used to work for his boss - nice guy, but an incompetent administrator).

"Get" my goals? No, I have to set them!

One goal: pare down my job duties so I don't have to spend hours when I should be sleeping to complete my 13-item, 16-page performance review.

Off to the self-assessment.
I should post the questions here and have you answer them for me.

Here you go. This should be fun.

1. What parts of your job do you feel you are doing well?







2. What parts of your job do you feel you could improve upon?







3. Are there parts of your job where you feel you need additional training?







4. What suggestions do you have to improve the service we provide to our customers?








5. What is important to you in your job?







6. What can I, as your supervisor, do to help you be successful and feel satisfied in
your job?

This is the hardest question. I look down my list of job responsibilities, and all I can think about is what didn't get done in the past year, or how I could have done things better.

It's much easier to say what you're not good at because it's those things that stick in your mind and bother you. Plus, saying what you're good at, particularly if you're very good, is a lot like bragging.

That Self-Assessment looks like Typical HR drivel. I hate those things.

1. What parts of your job do you feel you are doing well?
pp is doing everything well. I suspect she isn't human.

2. What parts of your job do you feel you could improve upon?
My snacking isn't up to the high standards that are required here. I will practice more in 2014.

3. Are there parts of your job where you feel you need additional training?
I need additional training in how to do self assessments; only with a proper self assessment can I hope to improve my future job performance. There is a world-class training course in self assessments be held in April in Hawaii that I need to take.

4. What suggestions do you have to improve the service we provide to our customers?
Make it stop snowing.

5. What is important to you in your job?
$$$$$$$$$$

6. What can I, as your supervisor, do to help you be successful and feel satisfied in your job?
Go away

Since the Gulliver Maker started it........

1. What parts of your job do you feel you are doing well?
All of them, I'm perfect, now shut up and go away

2. What parts of your job do you feel you could improve upon?
None, the only thing I should improve is the eradication process of idiotic pollyannas like whomever wrote this crap and whomever sent it to me

3. Are there parts of your job where you feel you need additional training?
Mass Eradication of Idiots who get paid for being part of this ode to stupidity (that includes ALL of the Marketing Dept.)

4. What suggestions do you have to improve the service we provide to our customers?
Eradicate HR, Marketing and Upper Management.

5. What is important to you in your job?
Money, why else would I come here and spend 50+ hours a week in a place full of people I despise?

6. What can I, as your supervisor, do to help you be successful and feel satisfied in your job?
Die, preferably in a slow painful way.

This should make me pretty popular around the office don't you think?

ETA: yeah, I know my last answer bordered in the psychotic, but this is BMR (even if it wasn't my thread) and I have, shall we say, much less than little sympathy almost all the supervisors I've ever had. As long as I take my meds I am not a danger to anyone, HAPPY?

Trying to rent a car on short notice in a small town. Trying to find a taxi service in a small town. I swear to the fucking powers that be - I will be writing a horror story/novel/movie (don't know which one yet) about the Shenandoah fucking Valley.

Oh Shenandoah, I really hate you
Go away, you fucking valley
Oh Shenandoah, I really hate you
Go away. We're bound away
Across the wide Pa...ci...fic

This small town really has nothing
Go away, you fucking valley,
Can't even rent, a fucking car.
Go away. We're bound away
Across the wide Pa...ci...fic

sfc, you made it. it was horrible but you survived and someday you'll laugh about it.

swift, do think of a career as a songwriter. just think about it.

@cm: not sure. I pretty much said the first thing that came to mind.

But SFC - if/when you write that novel, I will definitely buy it.

Nice lyrics Swift. lol

FUCK THAT MAN AND THE HORSE HE RODE IN ON

The threesome question will be sure to follow if you do.

This is the point where I really wish we still had the little emoticon guy for when you type rofl!

I think you're absolutely right once I read it, as I figured he wants to propose something but this gal's mind didn't wire together all the possibilities that way.

Yeah but I'm figuring he want to have a little party with Rommie and his current and not the others.

Well, they are both prime numbers.

And also a prime example of an asshole.
