A Year In Silence
Its been a little longer than a year since I bid adieu to the IT firm I worked for. I do miss the regular appraisal meetings with the manager and the 'evaluation form' one submitted every year. Back then it was another 'to-do' in my list of to-do's. It did make some sense huh. You would sit a few minutes with your eyes glued to the 'appraisal form' and your mind is like- 'Should I rate myself a 3or 4?', My achievements?? Some client appreciation comes up to your mind. Whoa! My improvement area: I think I already know it. Fine, done. Click Submit. And one fine day your manager 'pings' or 'calls up' and you are damn sure; this is gotta be the appraisal discussion. Thoughts flood your mind. I know what I have done and I deserve this. Well, I know I need to improve in this particular area. I'll work on it. Blah Blah ... you go on. I still remember the moment my Manager informed I was rated 'Commendable', I was on cloud nine ...
