UGHHHH I have a self review due for work today. These things are the worst.
10/10, excellent reviews from my peers.
I hate those things! 2 of my former workplaces did them. Usually the kind of places where if the management have an issue with your work they'll hope that you say it so they won't have to. You'll probably ace it though. Towards the end I was so sick of them that I'd just brag for half an hour.
I have a really great relationship with my boss so I'm sure it will be fine! I just hate the whole process around self-scoring, having to talk yourself up, ugh.
I used to hate talking myself up. I was raised that boasting or "having tickets on yourself" was arrogant and conceited. Then I went out into the real world where you have to kind of promote and market yourself in order to gain employment. Was terrible at it for a long time lol.
