Appraisal Time

*Gasp* gota pass up my appraisal by next Mon... has it been soooooooooo fast already??? Was just given the KPIs by my boss 2 days ago and gota hand it to her on Mon... thankfully, there weren't a lot of KPIs but i found it difficult to phrase my own appraisal. Truely miss the good old PA days where we just copied from each other or rather where 1 person did for the rest of us haha! :P Unlike in PA too, I don't think I will get an exceptionally good Evaluation coz there are already certain areas where we fall below the KPI and I am not a very conscientious worker either *sheepish look*

During this time, it always makes me wonder how effective are the yearly appraisals. To me, it is like a "for show" kinda thing, where you try to "promote" yourself; or rather don't make yourself to be a bad worker. Thing is that the KPIs are given to us at the same time of the appraisal (actually they are the same every year but still!!! I only just received mine!!) so how do we measure ourself and take note of the things we shd be looking out for??? To me, I also feel that upper management already has in mind who are the people they wish to promote, so why bother with this kinda self-promotion?? Although supervisors are supposed to meet with the staff after their appraisal, it has never been done in PA... but I heard UOB is different, they do talk to you about it. But then again I don't like these kinda stuff haha!! Heard that I would have to evaluate some of my counter staff too... definitely NOT looking forward to it...

Received the news after my block leave that the new branch @ Raffles City would be opening soon and my Cash Officer would be going over. SOBBIE SOBBIE!!! I really really like her... I thnk that she is THE nicest person in the branch; she doesn't raise her temper and is ever so helpful even if she is soooo v busy... which is what I can't say about some other pp heh heh. I have learnt a lot from her and chatting with her; like recently over SI haha. In the morning she never fails to greet with a cheerful Good Morning and end the day with a "See You..." Sometimes I feel guilty coz she has many things to do and when I try to help her (coz our duties overlap) to clear some, she will quickly wana take over and do herself instead. But I feel bad to just leave like that mah... I am sure gona miss her a lot... and hopefully the new cash officer that comes in will be just as nice. I always have this impression that all Cash Officers are motherly and nice coz the Cash Officer @ King George was also suuuuuper suuuuuper nice too!!! And I do hope there is a replacement coz if I am tasked to be the permanent Cash Officer... i will QUIT straight away!!
