[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I dont love this process, but it can be the basis for a real conversation about performance and goals.[/quote]

Fine, but what is the point of evaluating yourself?  What if you think that you are great, but your boss disagrees?  Or vice-versa?  How does that help anyone, and why does your own opinion of your work performance matter, anyway?  Just let your boss tell you what he thinks of you, ideally at intervals more frequent than once per year.  If you disagree, say so then, but self-evaluations just seem silly.[/quote]

Have you ever actually completed a self-evaluation?  They typically don’t ask you to rate yourself in the same areas your supervisors will.  Usually it’s more like giving you an opportunity to highlight particular successes or contributions that might not come out in others’ evaluation of you, comment on whether you met goals you set for yourself in the prior evaluation and, if not, why, and provide any other information that would be helpful to senior management in preparing your evaluation.  It’s designed to provide a more comprehensive picture of you as an employee that isn’t as influenced by a failure of your supervisor to note a particularly significant contribution (whether accidentally or intentionally) and provide context for any negative feedback you anticipate receiving so that senior management will know that you understand the issue and are proactively working to address it.

If you don’t participate, you are leaving yourself entirely at the mercy of your supervisors, who may or may not give an accurate picture. [/quote]
