job review

[Ronin]

6 years (we're in our review process right now).

We do a self evaluation, provide it to our direct report, who then evaluates and does their own, who then reviews it with us. We then sign it, it's sent to our executive management and a compensation team, who then evaluates raises based on that, and then we find out how much the increase was. Separately, they have a bonus evaluation that we find out about about 3 weeks later (there is no review for this, per se...it's more of a "Here's what your bonus is" kind of thing).

exactly the same in our company. it's kept internally as well.

By internally, you mean there's no third party (private firm) evaluating based on the reviews, or...?

This annoys me and doesn't make me any fonder of the employee.

which is what i have been trying to tell the OP all day

there is no "upside" to not signing the review, you only make the situation worse

yeah i just did it. i wish there is no such a thing as office politics.

In Canada, reviews often have to be signed so the employee can't later go on to sue for wrongful dismissal, having never been warned of poor job performance. That covers the employer's ass, but it also covers the employee: Your employer has to explicitly let you know that they're not happy with you, instead of trying to squeeze you out by removing all of your responsibilities, demoting you, drastically lowering your pay, etc.

You should take this up with HR Employee Relationship. You don't have to sign, but you might as well start looking for a job now .

It's all internal anyway so unless you plan on applying for a job within the company, no one is going to know about your review.

Looks like you have two choice:
1.) Don't sign and look for a new job
2.) Sign and look for a new job

Or just wait till you get fired and collect unemployment.

We have annual reviews and we actually write our own. Your manager may add some stuff to it but it's basically everything that I write. So far I haven't had a bad one

I got my reviews last week and the result was not good. While some of the things mentioned are true, most of the things I disagree with completely. i am just wondering, do you guys get asked to sign the review? i know there is the clause where you state you neither agree nor disagree with the comments. but i am afraid i still dont want to sign it, it may come back to haunt me in the future.

what do you guys think? is this file kept internally for the company only?

I get reviewed once a year. My boss submits random questionaires to my customers over the course of the year, then we go over the comments and my score.

At the end of the review, I'm asked to sign the papers acknowledging I've read and understood what we just covered.

In my case my signature is a formality. The comments and scores I receive can't be disputed since they're anonymous.

Who reviews you? Peers? Customers? Boss alone?

Interestingly, I've found that Office Space's take on job reviews is all too accurate. The less I do, the better I do on reviews. I believe it's the fact that they look at the bad when reviewing, and if you don't do anything, you've never screwed up so that looks really good.
