Its that time of the year again where all government servants are appraised for their year’s work. Often, it is your superiors that carry out the appraisal. However, the issues of how fair it is... raises its ugly head annually.
People are appraised according to several headings that existed within the standard form to be filled in. That includes time and general management and how well you carry out your daily tasks.
But not everyone receives training on how to fill in the form correctly. If you think about it... its subjective to interpretation. Example, a boss that comes to the office at 7.30 am daily and yet his subordinates arrive to the office at 7.50 am would not be pleased and would given them lower marks in that area. Whereas, a boss that arrives comes to the office at 8 am, and his people at 7.50 am would tend to give them higher scores in the time management slot.
Another issue with time is, how do you give parents that need to go out during lunch, and often during afternoon working hours Vs single workers that do not leave the office early, fairness in the time management slot.
Again...How can a boss that does not do any work appraise a hard working worker?
