Who has to fill out their own annual performance review at their workplace? Our fiscal year ended the first quarter of the calendar year so it’s our annual year-end performance review cycle. It’s company policy that the employees fill out their own reviews and the manager goes over it with them. Some managers make changes and discuss those changes with their employees. A handful of managers end up writing the whole review for their employees, but they’re in the minority. Also, those positions are usually closer to entry level positions where there’s unfortunately a fair amount of necessary micro-management needed.
Of the many years I’ve been getting performance reviews, my managers haven’t changed what I’ve written. They also haven’t added anything…although I am very thorough to a perfectionist fault. It’s true that I’ve earned this level of autonomy at work and we’re a fairly flat organization so most managers are “working” managers. However, it does present challenges. While I do get feedback, it’s uncommon to get anything meaty. That might seem like a good thing at first, but I like to think there’s always room for improvement and substantive feedback on performance is useful toward that end - or one would think so anyway.
Anyway…do you? Have to fill out your own performance review?
