Yeah, I know, I wasn't going to talk about it again [1] but alas, 'tis the season for self-evaluation [2] and all that fun HR (Human Resources) stuff. The major difference from last year is that the management this year isn't quite as … um … aggressive as last year, and my current manager (who was just a fellow cow-orker but promoted to management this year) was there last year during my self-review meltdown. He knows what I went through so he can run a bit of interference for me.
I spent the day basically copying what I had from last year (only in different words) and including referneces to all the trouble tickets I worked on this year. That should be good enough to get through this year.
I hope.
