Appraisal Time - No Appraisal letters :-)

Yes you guessed it I am talking exactly what you are thinking about.... It was in the air about 2 months ago the smell of hope and despair and the time when your boss can show that no matter what you do and how good you do it ... there are always two points to it:

1. Whenever you do something in a good way or deliver when it is needed then it is considered as a part of your job profile and there is nothing good about it and besides there is always someone who is doing ti way better according to your boss...

2. If you fail or even slip somewhere then you are in for big trouble Mister, first you do not do anything out of ordinary as oer point one above and now you have failed to do come up to the mark with the minimum prerequisites :-)

I mean to say if you look at it form a liberal point of view it is a real fun time to be around office apart form the day of your appraisal .... think about it whole day sitting in groups discussing what will happen thinking all permutations and combinations to outwit your PL and PMs when it comes to one to one discussion .....

Then again reviewing analysing and then strategising based on the performance and the review comment of otheres who have already had the spanking!!!!

By God I miss it and I really love the silly rumours about salary hike it can vary form 6% to 60% of your basc salary if you travel 5 desks left or right form your cubicle I mean where else can you see such diversity in incomes anywhere else in the world !!!!!!!!

Above all we really wished that we could document or maybe video record soem encounter between the really aggressive associate and exploiting PLs that used to be fun with constatnt bombarding of blames and acccusations form both the ends .......Thing is I have been preety lucky so far to have found and delt with all the right people in office so I did nto had any tormenting experience so far .....

Fast forwarding to today's scenario it has been 3 months since appraisal happenend even more I guess ... and no one has received their appraisal letters and on top of it HRs send a mail that for the last three years there has been no glitch from there side so please bear this time .. Where does the philosphy mentioned in point number 1 above go now.......

I guess it does not apply to superior beings in the Fairyland of Software industry where you can be whoever you want as long as you do what you are told and in the timelines whcih are pre decided

That being said I am left with nothing more ...
