Performance Review

[giza]

Got my performance review at work just now.

Phrases like, "exceeds expectations", "steadily showed improvement", and "numerous contributions" were all present. Certainly good to have.

But one comment puzzled me: "The decor in Doug's cube is appropriate for the office". I'm not sure why they mentioned that. Maybe they really liked my coffee pot? :-P

There's a good chance that the boss or some other management doesn't like the stuff somebody else has in their cubicle. By putting it as a comment in your, and presumably your coworkers', reviews, they can go ahead and tell whoever it is that they need to take down the porn or whatever in their cube. It's a preemptive way of being able to neutralize any complaints from the individual that they're being singled out. After all, it's in everybody's review, not just that person's.

Huh. I hadn't thought about that.

I can think of a few cubes that might qualify for that, but I won't discuss that in public. :-)

Straight from the horse's mouth.

LOL, nice. Well, then in that case, stick with what you have in there if they like it. If they're okay with the Lion calendar, maybe you can slowly sneak in the big cat items one by one :)
