I have to do this at Job, and it's complete bullshit because it's supposedly used for merit raises - but everyone gets the same raise, regardless of merit.
This year I wrote "I would be much more enthusiastic about breathing in noxious chemicals and working in poorly ventilated areas if I got paid a comparable amount to other darkroom techs in New York City."
Job pays about $8 less than other darkroom tech jobs. Other Job pays more than twice what Job pays (and I just got another raise at Other Job) and I do no chemical work there.

Sounds like you have yourself a sexual harassment suit

at least you get good ventilators. but yeah, better money would be better. same raise, that's how it's been here. however, this year we are nominating people for bonus awards. what a laugh. the idea was that the $500 we got last year was kind of lame since it wasn't for any "thing." i don't think anyone was pissed about $500 extra dollars. i wasn't.
this "evaluation" isn't a venue for complaining, it's a way to make the bosses' jobs easier and this way there are no surprises, ie, no one will be offended.
sigh.
i put my name on it so far.

9628I've had to do those self review things for years. Always a pain in the ass. Although, I've had to do so many of them at this point that I don't mind just going on and on about how awesome I am. It's like updating a resume.
Where I used to work, when they just started with these self eval things, they tried to come up with their own mnemonic where each letter of some word was the first letter of some category you used to evaluate yourself. One of which was an M that stood for "Moral," and the description for the category made no sense. I gave myself a 10 in that category and wrote "I have no idea what this means so I'm giving myself a 10." I told my boss that I never steal or kill at work, so I'm fine in that department. The HR director was sitting in all of the review meetings since it was a new process, and she admitted that they just needed something that started with an M right there, and it could be disregarded. Such a waste of time.
Also: Do you guys have to do SMART goals? Fuck that shit sideways, too.

This is perhaps the best example of management ridonkulousness that I have ever seen.
I am taking your quote and adapting it to my situation, BTW, in my review.
