Performance Appraisal

When you fill out the self-evaluation portion of your annual performance appraisal, you’re supposed to be honest. I had to do mine a couple months ago:

Q: List what you have done with respect to your job that provided the most satisfaction during the evaluation period.
A: I got paid.


Q: List what you have done with respect to your job that provided the least satisfaction during the evaluation period.
A: Arrived at the office after sitting in traffic.


Q: List any improvements that you believe can be made in your own performance, your work environment, or in areas where you feel [the company] could make changes.
A: Pay me to stay home.

I wonder if it’s possible to be too honest on these things.
