I appraise myself!
On the scale of A to E, where A is excellent and E is bad I gave myself B, and my boss gave me C. In the next appraisal I gave myself D and my boss gave me B. But ironically when I was given C my salary hike was better than when I was given B!!! I never understood the logic, and neither did my boss.
It took me at least a couple of years to understand what those fucking KRAs and KPIs actually mean. The one pattern I came to know after undergoing some 8-10 phony appraisal stunt was that – if you want to make more money, quit your present company and bargain a better deal in another company. These appraisal episodes run by Corporate every 6 months will always give you shit loads of hope and make you feel dejected and disappointed end of the day!
Thankfully I don’t have a human boss these days. I report directly to God – Lord Narayana that is. And I judge my astrological performance based on the number of predictions that come true, the number of friends/clients who are happy with my astrological skills, and the less number of times the divine slaps me hard to know my human limitations. Hence I thought it is the right time for me to appraise myself, and give myself some extra money.
My consultations charges that are put up on my site and other sites like astrolife, rediff, Yahoo India, MSN India, astroyogi, indiainfo and oneindia were framed in the year 2004, and before that from 2002 to 2004 – I was doing astrology for free – rather none paid me. So after three years of professional astrology I thought I would give myself a 30 per cent hike – 10 per cent per year! Sounds cool to me.
I am happy and am sure my immediate boss is happy too!
