"I have a performance appraisal at 1pm today. Should I tell my boss what I really think, or just lie to him and continue with the quiet life? Discuss."
Can't you do the first one in a professional and constructive manner? |

You shouldn’t leave the bad stuff for appraisals. You should bring them up and talk about them as they happen. That way the appraisal should be a good thing and not one to dread.... that’s what I’ve found

He’s probably wondering the same about you. |

Is he/she a good or a bad boss?
Do you have regular 1 to 1s with them?
The appraisal is a permanent record of your performance - get it in the bag first.
Ask for 1 to 1s and raise it in that forum rather than the appraisal. |

ha ha. I think it’s mutual.....agree with all of the comments here; one to ones and keeping calm etc. It’s just that I think appraisals are a pointless exercise especially when we all talk and catch up regularly. Just wasting time ticking the HR box! |

Remember that it's permanent record.
If things go bad at work the management will look at them and base redundancy decisions on it.
Make an effort my friend |

I disagree; I think you get out what you put in to them - they work brilliantly where I am. |

Nothing should come as a surprise in an appraisal.
OP, you say you think it's a waste of time because you already have regular supervisions/catch-ups, but your OP also suggests things aren't good. Your catch-ups aren't working.
If you treat it as a tick box for HR that's all it ever will be.

Not had an appraisal for years, but when I did it was always over lunch, if I got a pay rise, I would pay, if not then the boss would pick up the tab. Worked well until I became self employed  |
