I, amongst others, had to do a 360 appraisal for a manager at work. This basically means I clicked boxes that meant poor, good, ok, excellent, whatever, until I was finished. At the end of the sections you had the oppurtunity to add comments. Now I was thinking "Okey Dokey, cause you know the ticking doesn't give much of a clue so I guess you have to kinda explain yourself a little bit."
But then I noticed a little bit of text there. It basically said, "try not to type like you speak". I was thinking that this was to avoid any odd mistakes being made, also who ever did the persons review based on the comments would know who said what etc.
I didn't know that the manager I was doing this for was going to read the bloody comments I made.
Yes she read them and she wasn't very happy about anything that had been said about her.
She first thought that all comments were made by her boss and not by anyone else. I asked how, "Its the way its written.....you can tell" Phew missed that one.......oh wait whats she doing? Crap she is calling him.
He was honest and told her exactly what he put.
Now, she is left with the other comments made about her. They have all been written in the same style/manner and only a few made by her boss.........that leads her to me. She wasn't happy about the comments I made at all, but without directing a single comment at me said how she felt that "someone in this club is after me and wants me to look bad in front of all my bosses".
Right thats only partly true. I mean I didn't wanna make her look bad in front of anyone, I just wanted to show what I thought about her. I was given this oppurtunity as were 5 other people. We pointed out her weakness' and her strenghs, is it our fault that there are more weakness then, well anything. So it wasn't deliberate "make her look bad" it just kinda worked out like that.
What doesn't help matters is that people didn't wanna type comments so they either didn't make any.......or they asked me how to re-word all their stuff so they wouldn't be worked out. Which as you can imagine makes all comments look like they were made by me.
If I cared I would be a good person. But I don't care, this may make me a nasty bastard but again......I don't care.
*grin*

...you sure she won't read any of this?

...do you care?
[grin]
You are a bad person and shall surely go straight to hell...
Or worse, to the toilets in marigolds to look for lost things in nasty places... Oh wait, that's what happens to people who are good and nice at work.
So what terrible things are going to happen to you?
*evil laugh*
"...to look for lost things in nasty places..."
I like that. Hmmm...
To be fair, you did tell her to "go staple her own face to a cat litter tray".
I mean, its hardly constructive critisism.
DOOGUN! When did you become such a poet?

My poetry has been, and always will be, inspired by your mother.
Craigy threw a bag of money bags at me, and it hit me in the head and it hurt :-(
