Potential?

When performance review time came ;)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I came from a firm that does performance review on a yearly basis. In my current organization, performance review has just been introduced for a couple of years and created a big fuss at its early implementation. I didn’t get what the big hu-ha was all about, but generally, it’s being accepted now.

Anyway, the comments I usually received from my superiors were always in the line that I have the potential to move up. The first couple of years receiving the comments, kembang jugak la hidung. After that, however, I started wondering whether it was a standard comment given to all subordinates.

So, when performance review time comes, I kinda expect similar comments.

This comment, however, was given by my superior last year:

“When you are passionate about your job, you usually produce fantastic deliverable. But, when you are not, your deliverable is quite crappy.”

See, right to the point. I appreciated that comment…
