As the one being appraised - it could be embarrassing to have things which I considered to be over, done and forgotten about suddenly thrown up at me out of context.
When I reached the dizzy heights of management - I much preferred to treat my staff to tea/coffee and sticky buns once a month and thrash out any issues/problems etc., in a none threatening environment. Everyone had their say and, more importantly, my staff felt valued.
Obviously we had to do the formal appraisal thing as well just to keep the top brass happy - but it was just rubber stamping what we had already covered.

She’d say to me, Ah thanks Xxx for being my me for me.
Does that even make sense!

Re: Performance Appraisals
Best appraisal I've ever had was the job i am in now when I moved to Kent. There wasn't that many people in the business when I was taken on so the owner of the business did all the appraisals. Basically, it was a case sit down, say hello, then 'your doing a very good job, I can see I am not paying you enough, I am going to give you a £2000 increase on your yearly wage'.I was completely shocked, no way was I expecting him to do that. I just smiled, thanked him for the increase and that was it, appraisal meeting over
He never did the same again though
even though my appraisals was just as good.

Re: Performance Appraisals
The closest I ever came to being appraised was when I was sat in the office with my boss when a customer rang up asking how long until his diamond abrasive wheels would be finished (it was the job I was working on) My bosses reply was: "I've got my best man on it".....
Say no more!

I recall when I qualified, the old manager resigned. So I was called in as the next senior person (I had only been in the position for 4 months and then I got my sought after qualification). I told the top chief that I would consider the position if they bumped up my salary. I mentioned that I had recently qualified as well. That was on a Monday. On the Friday, I was called in and offered a R420,000 per annum increase!
I was gobsmacked but I acted all calm and signed the offer!
Best boss I ever had!
