Ask HN: Do you hate writing self assessments at the end of every quarter?

Yes I hate this with a passion. Feels so fake trying to justify your existence. Trolling through things you have done and trying to warp them into the stupid criteria to make them fit.

Now this is an IA application I would pay for. Let me list the stuff. Program comes up with flowery fillers.

I have heard both ways. I personaly don't think this is a very useful exercise. Although I have had people tell me that it is a good time to reevaluate ones actions and decide what work and what does not.

I’ve never had this asked of me and I think it would really make me want to look for a new job if it was required

Also, this reminds me of the unpleasant experience in a very small grad program of being asked for anonymous feedback at the end of a semester
