My boss told me he had looked at my ratings for my performance and made his own ratings and if I would go through it and if there was anything I wanted to discuss to have a chat with him. The review ratings were no.3 (which is apparently good) to no. 4 (approx 1/3 of review meaning add. development). I went and spoke to him about it but as I was so gobsmacked am afraid I got upset. He is a young guy who is climbing the ladder, is always right and would not take too kindly to his ratings being questioned. I felt the review was unfair and v critical with no comments as to why development was needed and if any example was given it was v minor.
A few were contradicted ie produces work to a high standard but yet add. dev. needed as doesn't produce docs with minimal error.
AD given for when to go to someone at more senior level example given - not contacting the IT guy to get him to help with presentation was having problems with (I couldn't get him on the phone)
AD for good working relationship with fee earners because apparently I should be speaking to every single one of them not just the ones I do work for
Timekeeping needing to be addressed but haven't been late for 3-4 months, answer was so you haven't been late in the whole year, this is a review for the year
Turnover of docs. AD needed as not getting them to him quick enough, might hold on to them and bring them in all at once instead of one at a time (this has prob happened a few times but just because they have all taken less than half an hour to do)
Marked down for giving myself a 2 (how dare I) for polite and courteous telephone manner. Apparently no-one is a 2.
AD needed for helping others in team (which I do when am not busy) and I explained this to him.
It goes on and I spoke with OM and said I wasn't happy with it and the comments were unfair. I asked if this was a proper review meeting and she said that some people had it on a 1-1 basis but if I wanted another chat about it then she will have a word with him.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
