My manager emailed me to say that they want to review my self-evaluation draft before I submit it in the system. DO NOT SUBMIT IT UNTIL I REVIEW IT A, I was told.
What is this cluster fu-kery? In over 10 years here I've never had a manager ask me to do this. Has anyone else experienced this?
Depends what they recommend while reviewing. They may be trying to help or may be trying to support another narrative. I would wait, do not submit it immediately after reviewing with your manager (you're under absolutely no obligation to submit it after or while viewing/editing it with them). Come back here after and describe how it went and we can help with next steps.
@db If I was fighting to get someone a decent raise I made suggestions on how they could improve their self reflection to support the compensation decision. I was doing it to help them, not require anything of them. The OP may not have such a supportive manager, like I was.
@am 😂 This is funny because it's true.
@d2 did you require your direct reports to view their self-evaluation draft before they submitted it in the system?
There is no need for the manager to ask you to do this. In the past, I have reviewed self reflections and if I felt they could be more compelling, I sent them back to my team members so they could reword/adjust. I did this so that when I went to bat for their "raise" their self reflection, and my review combined provided adequate justification for a decent raise. Now this was a couple years ago, before the company started giving paltry "half a percent" types of "raises." Now I just wouldn't bother. It's not worth the effort.
@OP im a manager, and thats just not how it's done. I wouldn't review the draft with her, and I would contact HR about it.
Skip HR and and submit to ethics. Things reported to ethics has to be investigated, HR they just document and protect the company
Send HR an email and let them know
This must be in behavioral health area as those managers are micromanaging lunatics
Sounds pretty shady to me. What is your manger going to do with it? Edit it, hand it back to you and expect you the make THEIR revisions? It’s YOUR self evaluation which means NO ONE ELSE should have any input.
It all seems extremely unethical.
You're right to question this. Almost two decades with the company and I've never been asked to do this. I personally would not even entertain this.
More than 5 years in Home and Community. Had different managers. NEVER was I asked to do this.
What department are you in?
