It’s self-evaluation time. I’m supposed to evaluate myself for my performance for the last 11 months, as well as for another month into the future. Even though raises and bonuses won’t be known for another 4 months. So, that makes sense.
And then I remember, ah yes, self-evaluations are pointless, like a comment box that no one reads. I could be asked to evaluate my 2024 performance today and it would be given the exact same level of thought and credibility by leadership.
The only question is, why do I play along?
