No one likes having to do all that performance measuring crap for work right?! Well we've just been given ours. In the main they are unachievable. However, one of the "goals and objectives" is essentially black m ail! Every year we have the opportunity to fill out an anonymous survey on staff engagement including how we think our manager has performed. Nothing out of the ordinary there. But wait... One of our performance goals is a better-than-last-year employee engagement score.... so if engagement dosent improve (or we mark our shit manager down again) we can't have a pay rise! what the fuck!?

Health and safety...... to paraphrase "provide evidence of how you grassed up a colleague who wasn't adhering to our over bearing h&s policy, If you don't then you're not performing. If you yourself don't score 100% for H&S then you're not performing." No pay rise for you...

"Hey John, just grassing on you so i can have a pay rise. Obviously you won't get one. Sucks to be you. Afterwards, can you give me a hand fitting the widget valve?".....

I think that you might want to point that out to the HR Department quite quickly and get it changed. If not, raise a grievance under the grievance procedure.

Maybe its a massive test of your loyalties. If you all stay loyal to workmates you get to pass and have a large pay rise. Un loyal ones get flushed. I doubt it though.

That surprises me, I’ve found men easier to manage generally and have promoted them partly because of that. Just before I get any negative comments I have promoted women to management too when they’ve been the best person for the role

This type of unattainable nonsense is becoming more prevalent in the workplace. There is no way I could work for a company where I had to enforce such a ridiculous method of measuring performance. Companies wonder why sickness is so high and performance is so low

One place I've worked the staff had to do a "satisfaction" survey every year, meant to be anonymous but at the end of it you had to give your location, grade, sex and age so maybe not so anonymous after all...

If you tell managers they are wonderful, theyll believe you.

If you say they are rubbish they wont.

Either way, nothing changes so,tell them what they want to hear and reap the benefits.

Ah, they're saying any non compliance will be seen as a behavioural issue. Therefore they can take disciplinary action.

I think they’ve got hold of the wrong (unsafe) end of the H&S stick. Is there not an option to provide an example of how you prevented a client or subcontractor from killing or maiming themselves? Works well at our place.
