Self-Assessment

As part of our annual performance review, my boss requires me to do a self-assessment of my work performance. Isn’t it ironic? Aren’t they (the bosses) the one who should do that. I mean they are the ones who can really say or judge if my performance is satisfactory or not. Well, maybe she’s just too busy to do this thing for us, because our boss rarely stays here in Davao, she’s always in Makati. Maybe if we do this, we’re doing her a huge favour and maybe her intention also is to really know ourselves in terms of our capabilities with regards to our job. All I can do now is be honest with my self-assessment and hope that when she reviews it, I will get a favourable remark.
