yoda76A JOB EVALUATION - MUM
April 24th 2007 01:49
Here is my job evaluation.
How do you think you are going in your job?
I was under no illusion with regards to the difficulty of this role when I first took it. In fact I felt that I was thriving but as the team grew I have found myself stretched. I feel that I still have a firm grasp on the role and the responsibilities even though the job description has changed.
Do you think you have met your KPI’s?
Mostly yes. I have set a high standard for myself which is a double edged sword. I find myself striving to be better but at the same time sometimes feeling like I fall short of the mark. I have difficulty in delegating resulting in compromised efficiency and incomplete tasks.
Do you feel your working conditions are reasonable?
There are two ways to answer this question. Within the immediate working environment the working conditions are as I would expect them, so I don’t find them completely unreasonable, albeit difficult.
However, when I look outside of my immediate department there are some discrepancies. There are questions about the validity and importance of my job; the choices I am given are limited making me feel like my hands are tied.
How about the pay? Are you reasonably remunerated?
Well I’m actually losing money on this venture. Outside of my department I feel that I am losing status.
However, I am often paid in kind from my team when I least expect it, which more than makes up for it.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
I hope to be far more efficient; if the team doesn’t grow in numbers, but continues to mature. I also hope to see the team on a more even keel with management; I hope to be performing more like a “team” and less like a two tiered (management and subordinate) structure as it stands currently.
Do you have any grievances?
Yes, but again not from within my own division. External influences are extremely frustrating and I feel at times they inhibit me from doing my job optimally.

I am a thinker...I always have been. And when you think,you question. When you question, you search for answers.
No wonder I don't get anything done...too busy thinking.
Love & stuff

Jedi or no - dilly dallying is important. Always so serious...
Seriousness is the path to the dark side. Seriousness leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
Namely mine...

I love this answer:
However, I am often paid in kind from my team when I least expect it, which more than makes up for it.
Being paid in kind is one of the best things about this job we do, isn't it.
Some great answers here.

PS Dusk ... PLEASE no more jokes!!!!

There is no amount of money that can equate to being paid in kind from your family.
Hi Dusk,
I'm surprised there haven't been more jokes.

Mrs M ... you've hit the nail squarely on the head with that one. Just a simple hug from your children is priceless.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I'd so love that implemented in Australia, or at least something like it, make parenting a real profession, get a pay from the government, a real one, so if you're a single mum you get a big fat pay representing your work, make it something like high wages and multiply it accordingly by the number of kids with variations per age etc etc.
Obviously some people will exploit it, who the hell cares!? We'll have lots of kids and provided the parents are all wealthy they can easily afford parenting lessons if they so need 'em.
Then again thats just my ideal world, the real world involves going to war and unnecessarily reducing the population as a result.
I actually read this a while ago and decided to evaluate myself as a brother, of course being the cheating bastard that I am I asked my brother what he thought of me right after we had lunch at a restaurant, yeah he was all raves (especially after he forced me to cough up the $1 for the friggin bouncy ball).

oh god I just had a relapse of a kind of way marriage used to occur way back 1400 years ago, its just so random and clearly reading all the comments here my mind has been polluted.
*bleh, I thought I was younger than that... well I am younger than that *shoots self*.

I'd love it too..even though women still get paid less than men for doing the same job.
Could you imagine the controversy that would cause? People are in a tizz now over the $4000 maternity payment.
Costs me a lot more than that to get my ego stroked. You've done well
Love & stuff
