My first appraisal in this company is very much different from the previous appraisal I experienced. Most of the time managers or bosses will just comment on your performance and pointing out the areas that you need to improve.
This time, my new boss asked a few questions, “How are you doing in the company?” “Any areas you feel that the company needs to improve”, and “Are you happy working in the company?”
In the end we asked him whether he has any comment on us.
His answer was simple. ‘This is an appraisal, and appraisal is meant to appreciate, not comment or complain on each others performance.’
He told us his experience during his fresh while dealing with 2 workers in a factory. He was not happy with the workers because they didn’t do a good job and didn’t really respect him. He complained to other departments, and what he found is that everyone is facing the same problem. One day, a friend came to him and said, “No matter how good or how bad your worker is, at least they get the job done.” He added, “You are the supervisor, when they face problem, it is your responsibility to help them.” “When they get the job done, appreciate them.”
As an engineer, we faced problems everyday. There are problems not only on the technical side, but also the human management side. When somebody did something wrong or forgot of something, we tend to blame or argue with that person. So, instead of wasting those times arguing, why not we face the problem, and solve it together?
Let us help and support each other, no matter what circumstances.
God bless.
