How important are they to you?


Do they really matter?

Damn....


Does anybody work?

Naw, I have worked at the same place for 20 years..if they haven't fired me by now..it's not gonna happen.

Only worthwhile if you are going to get a pay rise out of it!

20 years here also...


But after a lot of, "You're a good worker, BUT!!" phases, it really stop mattering to me..

I really don't think it ever did

I agree, I topped out 2 years ago, I dont see why I still get these evals

I get a raise every year but I think I'd get about the same amount no matter what I do. At this point it's just covering the cost of living.

I HATE job evaluations.

The only reason I hate job evals is because they take your demeanor into account. I hate my job: I act accordingly but I get the job done. They should be happy I even show up.

How can/will you keep that up?

I'm not. I quit my job last Monday. I'm counting down my days.

My job is cutthroat: everyone looks for someone else to blame shit on and it's easy to blame it on me because I am the newest in the team. I was told yesterday that the owner doesn't like me and I have never had a conversation with the man in the year that I've worked there. So while my boss smiles in my face, he's probably stabbing me in the back. I cannot wait to that motherfucking place to fall like cards when I leave next month. For a bunch of men that own MBAs, they are some of the most clueless, no-running-a business motherfuckers on the planet.

If it's meaningful, then yes, it matters to me, good or bad. I've had reviews that were worthless and ones that truly assessed my performance.
Depends how much I care about the job, as well.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that the owner doesn't like you, especially when he's never talked to you face to face. You're doing the right thing by getting out of there.

Thanks Nancy. It would be really good if my boss spoke up for me. I not only do my position but three others at that place.

Lothan said:

Holy cow, you must be burned out doing all that work! Yes, it would help if your boss would defend you, but bosses, I have found, don't always do what they're supposed to do. Corporate America can be a really cold, heartless place.
