Talk of the Quarter….. Appraisals !!


Talk of the Quarter….. Appraisals !!

Today when I reached office, there was an email from HR waiting for me to open it… It was to introduce us to the new online Appraisal system. Then after lunch while taking a stroll in the office market, a passer by’s T-shirt said, Hard work doesn't kill anyone but why take a risk :)

Moreover I came across an online article on How to deal with Good appraisals..?
Super Surprising… do good appraisals really exist? Or they are like the UFOs, about whom we just hear and never see or experience?

Office has different vibes these days, everybody seems to be busier than ever. Making sure they complete something…. wondering what it is?
Meeting rooms are always booked, empty coffee cups stuffed here and there, printer are ever printing something or the other, people sitting late, offseason and so much work… HOW?

Did we realize our duties just now….. as in ‘this’ morning on the breakfast table?
Naaaahh!

I guess, with the soaring temperature, it’s also the heat of appraisal season that is sweating us all.
The impact has seriously doubled…. It’s now or never…!!!!

So on the mind these days….All the best work done by your team is actually your mastermind. Lets Prove it dude!
Right or wrong, who decides it…No one. Shut your ears on those who will call your corrupt. You are talented, not everybody is ....to even do this bit.
It requires skills.

I recall this famous quote, “In God We Trust, everybody else bring data to the table”– Mr.Narayana Murthy.
So, get it done by hook or crook.

If travelling was one of your interests through the year, make sure now you are seen more often in the office and how about an organizer and a pen in hand, would definitely give more effect to the scene. If don’t have…Borrow them nowww!
And yes… make it appear natural.

OHOKK … don’t stress yourself much for this, put an alert on your boss’s communicator status change. The moment it turns offline, throw the organizer away; pack your bags and off you go.

Another critical mustdo this time of the year, do anything to make a space in your boss’s good book.
Do whatever !!!! Even bribe …LOL :D… 
Important note… Do Not Crib, No matter you live poles apart from your office or had a bad day at home. Stop cribbing for Christ’s sake and think BIG. 

Not mine but a fren’s manager said to her “ For good job you get paid, for more do something extra”.

After reading this post if you have some time left, then chose a few initiatives and participate in any entertainment cultural event to sandwich the appraisal time in between and minimize it’s impact.

NOTE: This is just reality redefined and .....nothing official about it ;)
Well truly….
