Self Evaluation 3: Around

Someone in HR thought it would be a good idea to have the employee make written comments, then the immediate supervisor writes comments, then the employee comments on the supervisor's comments. This has us both going back-and-forth in an awkward, embarrassing roundelay dance.

The tendency, if you are at all self-critical, is to emphasize your failings. By the same token, if you are at all defensive, you build up walls of (barely) hidden aggression. If you at all have an actual job to do, you slough off this long doc till the last minute and then rush through it.

The critical process.
