I Do Not Need The Appraisal
I Do Not Need The Appraisal.
~:VOL 0 Reaction:~
Are you nuts?
Whats wrong with you?
Insane.
Stupid.
Vennai. Loosu.
my friends and well wishers reacted when I told them the subject.
The most important question among them was "WHY?" which many did not ask.
~:VOL I Questions:~
Why should some one get an appraisal?
When should some one get an appraisal?
Why should it be repeated every year?
What do you want to do next?
My question was something different from all the above.
From whose angle should it based or biased upon?
Is it necessary to have it every year?
Did I say I do not "want" appraisal? I said I do not "need" appraisal.
~:VOL II Story:~
Void
A company hires people having some specific plans in their mind for them and they spend (their salary) on them according to it. Some people who have achieved this status because of their hard work and commitment tend to loose it at some stage of the life. They are still getting paid for the work which they are supposed to do and not what they do. They also get a sheet of paper at the end of one year term for apraisal. Without raising the eye brow they do fill it will ease. They might not mean every word in it cause that how the system works until now. If hey sit back and think what they have done in over the year for the company and for them selfess they might not even have to touch the pen for a appraisal.
Namesake
There are few people who work for namesake. This might me due to many reasons. Every body might have a valid story behind them to support thier decision. They will fill the appraisal for the fact that they have spent their man power which is worth a appraisal.
Proud
There are few people who feel proud of what they do and they wait for filling the appraisal which they deserve.
Me
I am not able to classify my self in any of the above. Its not that I do not know, bu the fact that I am able to place myself in all these positions. Even though I fell proud of what I have done in the past with respect to the profile I hold, I feel as if its for namesake. Though I do not waste time or avoid work I can not convince myself in filling the form, for the fact that I am not proud of what I am doing RIGHT NOW or where the work is leading might not be what I really want to do continue.
Desire
It not that I do not know that I am not proud of what I am doing, but you might not get what you always want in life. You need to balance and compromise between what you desire for and what you really need. What do I want then? is not in VOL I because that will result in a different answer, eventhough it indirectly contributes to the subject. Let me say why I do not want to answer this right now. In life (i am being general here, because even you might agree with me here) we are always presented with a choices to choose. We make decision depending on the current decision and also taking a small leap into future of how this decision will affect the things ahead. Between desire and need I am choosing "need" at this point (as I have done all along) because I am still not at the liberty of choosing my desire.
Need
Money? Definitely Not. (period)
This word is in-appropriate to this topic because I am writing this whole thing for saying I do not need this more. In reality I am so badly need of money for various reasons, but I am still happy with what I have.
Happiness? Yes. (period)
How do I measure happiness? is another story. But, the bottom line is I need to be happy with what I do.
~:VOL III Answers:~
I may not or do not want to answers all the questions but let me explain the important ones. Appraisal should be given to the people who deserve it. This should be viewed both from the employee and employer point of view. The employer should not wait for the year end or the employee should have patience to wait for more than a year. The system should be more practical in rewarding the efforts a employee puts in at every given point of time. In this way you might over come the situation or scenario where employee leave the organization after the appraisal.
~:VOL IV The End:~
Even though I do not want money now, in the past few weeks I have come across people who are really in bad shape because of money. Sometimes you want somethings very badly but they keep moving away from you on every step you move closer to them. The ones you want to get rid of might follow you to death. May be Newton was right in his 3rd law.
Even though you have all the right to decide what you want, does it really matter that you need to make a decision on every stage of life what you want to do in the future. These decision taken are influenced by the things that happen around you. You might want to say what you like, but thats not always what is expected from you. There are some rules or let me call it superstition (because now I might not want to agree or follow those) that are followed, when you even think to break it PEOPLE EITHER THINK YOU ARE A GENIUS OR INSANE. This has happen in the past to Galileo when he said the earth goes round the sun wen it was believed that sun goes round the earth, to me when I said the "subject" and it looks like this trend will continue for ever. That brings me with only two perfect word to conclude, no not "The End" its
move ALONG.
