work evaluation having to rate co-wokers ?
every year at work we get this stupid "self evaluation" sheet we have to fill out, "what do you do" , "what do you enjoy about working here" , "what are new skills you've learned" blah blah. and a sheet to rate yourself on stupid things like attendance, efficiency, accuracy, blah blah, same stupid questions every year with the same stupid answers every year.
anyway - so this year we have a sheet added , asking us to rate our co-workers. it lists everyones name, and there are about 10 different things to rate them on , ona scale of 1 - 10. like how well they do at their job, if they are trustworthy, etc. i didn't read all of them , i just glanced at it and thought "wtf" as i was leaving for lunch, and now i'm kind of annoyed about the idea of having to rate other people. is this weird or what ? it's stupid enough having to rate myself every year on this stupid thing. i definitely don't feel right being asked to rate other people. is this normal and common for the boss to ask employees to rate the people we work with ? am i weird for being somewhat offended by it and not wanting to do it ?

360 degree reviews are increasingly standard. You should make sure that your comments will be confidential. [/ QUOTE ] That's what they are called here. This is our first year. I hate them.

[/ QUOTE ] i don't think i am going to do it, i'll probalby just write "i think everyone here does a good job and i like everyone" or something. i think it's weird. we work in a small company, stuff gets around way too easily. not to mention the boss is around everyone all day long working with us, and hovering over everyones shoulder as it is. he knows whats going on there and who does what. it just seems kind of a way to cause unnecessary drama to me. if i want him to know what i think of someone i will tell him.

If the reviews are taken seriously and are confidential, then genuine, honest, reviews should be okay. Remember, if it's a small place, everyone already knows what everyone thinks of each other.

[/ QUOTE ] I think there's an important difference between what co-workers suspect you think about them, and what's on any sort of official record like a 360 review. Especially if the reviews are tied to performance boni etc. The last time I participated in a 360 review (small PE shop 40 people) I went in with the goal of being honest, candid, and with an eye towards improving the company. I also trusted my manager, who conducted the review (it was an interview-style where he took notes). However, I did not realize his assistant would be filing / reading all the reviews... needless to say this assistant was friends with one of my colleagues yada yada - and it ended up being incredibly annoying for me for a few months. Nothing I said was malicious - I was trying to be constructive. Unless you are fairly high-up in the company with a real investment in your future there, looking to improve the company, I would personally recommend being as bland and neutral as possible in your reviews. Little upside with lots of potential downside.

Why not try to make things better if you're going to spend 40+ hours a week there? Also, in all likelihood your bosses want to know if you are unhappy or if there are specific things that you would like them to do differently. I know I want to know. It's hard to replace people.

Re: work evaluation having to rate co-wokers ?
When I read your OP I was thinking, yet again, how weird large corporations can get. The HR folks keep puttin' on the "touchy-feely, we're here for you, you're the reason we're successful, blah blah yada yada yada" crap and then they find another way of being KGB, Gestapo.
Now, your next post says you're not in a large corp. Jeeze, "trickle-down" crap! (yeah, I know turds roll downhill, but I really hate to see this in smaller cos.) [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I think these things are attended by large orgs. and small.

[/ QUOTE ] I can confirm your suspicions about the big ones. I attended a couple. They're frequently put on by outfits that specialize in this crap or by the corp.'s HR types that paid big bucks to learn how to stage them. They're always held at really neat sites with a lot of side bar entertainment. Everything is first class, i.e., $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
