Rating Yourself

by Shane Holden – January 19, 2009

A little while ago I received a memo for my “annual performance review” here at work.  Which is kind of funny because I’ve been here 7+ years, and this is the first time I’ve seen such an item.  I consider myself lucky for that, because I don’t really like paperwork, and especially rating myself on various subjects.

A quick glance over it leaves me to believe that the most weight of it will be from my supervisor’s responses, although mine obviously will bear some weight in it.

The topics at hand are:

  • Ability to Plan, Prioritize, and Organize
  • Job Knowledge
  • Acceptance of Responsibility
  • Goal Setting
  • Judgment and Decisions
  • Initiative and Creativity
  • Ability to Cooperate with Others
  • Quantity of Performance
  • Quality of Performance
  • Oral Expression
  • Written Expression
  • Level of Supervision
  • Response to Constructive Criticism

I’m not really worried about it since I believe that if there were any problems, it would have been brought up already, and I don’t believe the finished products of my work could turn out any better than I make it already.  I like to do things right — not just enough to get by with.  I won’t be pulling a King of Queens type deal (the episode where he votes with his “system”), and putting 5/5 on all of them :lol: but will rate myself as honestly as I see it.

Who knows, maybe I’ll be getting a raise :lol:

    Wow, the first time after all those years? I think about half of those would make me nervous, but it sure seems you have a good sense of how you are doing.
    Good luck! I hope you DO get a raise!

    Muse – Yep, the first one ever. It didn’t take too long to do so we’ll see how it goes, lol. Many thanks Muse!! :)

  3. [...] must have been no disagreements in with the way I rated myself previously.  I checked my paycheck this morning and saw that I now receive 36¢/hour more, which I suspect is [...]

Got something to say?! Go for it!
