Gettin' Evaluated

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for me. It will be the day that will determine my performance level here at my company.

I will be having my CPE review for 2008 with my new lady boss. Just in case if you’re wondering “What the heck is CPE??” Well, it stands for “Commitment Plan and Evaluation”. The CPE system is all about keeping record of all goals and results committed and to be achieved for the coming year, to see if there are any achievements made or not by the employees. Their performance is later reviewed, evaluated and ranked from 1 to 4 based on the results.

If you are ranked as 1, then you are ‘Exemplary’… meaning that your performance is totally outstanding and that you are a role model to other employees and the company is damn proud of you... kinda exaggerating but it’s kinda like that. (ehem... someone like me for an example) Hehehe...
2 is ‘Good’… means that you’ve performed above the average, you have exceeded your target and you’re independent and reliable.
3 means you “Meet Requirements"... It’s when you have performed just cukup-cukup makan and you have met your targets. But dude, you watch out ok!
4 is ‘Unsatisfactory’... means your performance is not up to the company’s expectation. Malu je lah kan.

The rank will also determine our annual salary increment percentage as well. So, the higher you’re ranked, the higher the percentage.

So, I am going to be evaluated by my boss tomorrow and we will be discussing about my performance level for year 2008. I have made my justification and reviewed my plans and I am confident that my performance level is going to be as I have hoped for. Still, I am kinda nervous at the same time. This will be my first CPE review with my new lady boss.

You see, she just joined in July 2008 and I am not sure if she will be evaluating me according to my working performance and up to my expectation. I do understand that she is still new to the whole working environment here and I do assist her in many situations and in any possible way. But honestly, sometimes I find it just hard to work together with her. And believe me, I am not the only one around here who thinks so too. She’s a type of a person who doesn’t accept nor listen to your idea or opinion. What ever that she say or do is always the best for all of us. She doesn’t agree to any suggestions you gave her, she will not admit that your idea or suggestion might be correct or useful… and she certainly doesn’t listen to your explanation. Sometimes, during any discussion, She likes to speak so fast and she will talk about all sorts of issue and that's sometimes not related. It's kinda make you feel confused as to what she is trying to say. hehehe... Semua tengok bengong blue-blue jer kat dia. hehehehe... In the end, you ended up feeling frustrated, confused and demotivated sometimes. But one thing is for sure... she is a very determined person who doesn’t give up too easily. She will try hard to get what she wants and will push people to the extent when it comes to work. I often seek her help when it comes to escalating issues with higher people. You can say it is some of her skilled qualities.

Oh well, I hope things will be well tomorrow. Please pray for me :p
