Performance Review

November is the month of performance review. I was on the office area and was looking for the in charge in mechanical fabrication, when my supervisor asked me if he can discuss to me the performance review. I told him that I was about to see mechanical group for I have some machine parts for fabrication, but it will not take long, because I already discussed it with them.

After giving the part to the mechanical group, I went to my supervisor’s table which is a few cubicles away. We then go to a vacant room to discuss my performance. He handed me the report and on the front page, I saw my rating. Well, to be honest I was a little surprise for the rating, it is a little bit high than what I am expecting. The report has a total of 6 pages, the next pages shows the detailed part of the rating, including comments regarding how he came up with the rating. The last page contains the next goal for me and my supervisor’s plan. Being an associate equipment engineer, I am currently paired with an equipment engineer, whom is giving me guidance in my new job function. He told me that in the coming months or years, I will be ready to stand on my own. I am having second thoughts about it; especially I was not used to handling people. I used to be a follower and a leader, but not an administrator type. He told me that he will give me training for both personal and technical development that might be helpful to me.

Overall, I was satisfied about my performance rating.
