we have to do self-evals every year. i always put i am the greatest employee the pharmacy has ever had. funny, that never ends up on my final eval from the director ...

Of course, why would you rate yourself poorly! I always make it sound like the company would be lost without me.

I have a self eval to do that is sitting on my desk staring up at me. Oh, I can't tell you how much I hate these. ( It was due last week :D)

I am in the same boat. :bang: How about we share last year's evals with each other? I can use your evaluation & you can use mine. I am convinced the managers never look at these things anyways!

I still laugh about the time that my co-worker told our CFO that she refused to do the self-eval & he could just give our annual $50 raise to me!

Not a bad idea, I could probably write yours better than mine!
 
My "self-evaluation" is due 12/31. Ours are pretty well laid out -- there's a list of things that you can document that you do or don't do. Then there are student evaluations -- not fair IMO because the good students give good evaluations, and the bad ones give bad evaluations. It's not my fault that the Admissions Department accepts a lot of unworthy students (you can't believe how low some of the SAT's are) just to keep the institution in the black.:bang: Yet it affects my merit pay. Not fair.

Another thing that adversely affects my merit pay is research. I was hired with a heavy teaching load and without the expectation of doing research, which is why I turned down an associate prof position at Auburn because I was on the "Mommy track" and thought I wouldn't have time for research (had one child, lost the others :cry:, multiple years of infertility treatments with no success). Now the new hires are expected to do research, and they have a reduced teaching load to allow them time for research. Yet I don't have a reduced teaching load, but my merit pay is partially based on doing research. I haven't done research since the 80's due to my heavy teaching load. No way in heck in my dynamically-changing area of expertise that I can get up to speed to do reseach after not having done research since the 80's. I mean, I'm overly qualified to teach at the undergrad level, but I'd have to go back to grad school (at my age :eek:) to get to the point that I could do research in the field I'm in. SO NOT FAIR. It's really age discrimination, IMO.

Didn't care about last years eval as the company had already announced no raises. Doesn't seem to matter at all if there is no difference between nothing and nothing.

I have a self eval to do that is sitting on my desk staring up at me. Oh, I can't tell you how much I hate these. ( It was due last week )

Maybe not a top raiting on "completes tasks on time"? :D
