[Thread] 🌟 Tips for stellar self performance review

So I'm a developer, say for example working with a specific language like C#. Over the year I worked on enhancing my skills in C# and also dabbled over to look into other domains like AI/ML. What all should I mention in my performance review feedback? Is it wise to show that I went beyond my job requirements and learnt about new and upcoming domains where the product is currently not focused on? I also did some side projects and built some Android apps for fun. Does it make sense to add them too, to indicates that I'm not restricted to just one language or framework. Any suggestions what should/can go and what should not?

I am fed up with people who try to steal other people’s credit. Be it your manager, your colleague or anyone how do you avoid them from taking your credit for the work you have done. Worst part is seeing them try hard to showcase it as their own. What do you all suggest for such situations?

Want to implement a simple but effective system for an early stage startup. The idea is to have a system in place without laying too important around vision, mission and all the hoo haa.

Hey guys, i am going to be a manager for the first time in a company that i have been working at for 3 years and I have people joining me from monday.. any tips for being a good manager?

I'll go first. It is mostly operational and never strategic. Updates, status, retention etc. What about you?

I have an onshore counterpart, one level above me. We two are setting up the project and conducting workshops. The problems I have are: 1. I work in the B shift from 2 PM to 11 PM since the client is in PST. But i login usually at 10-11 2. My onshore counterpart works in EST but logs in very late. 3. Although I work in the B shift, I often extend until 1 AM because I am preparing all the PPTs and doing research. I have to explain everything I do daily for 2-3 hours. She schedules meetings during the PST afternoon to present that work. 4. It has been 2 months of the same routine. In every weekly stand-up, she gets appreciation as if she did the work and research, without giving me any credit. 5. I can escalate the issue, but no one will listen because she has been here for 12 years, whereas I joined a year ago. She has strong networking with the leadership, which I lack. 6. I can ask for release, but I like this project and have provided solutions for some challenging gaps. I feel very bad because I work for 16-18 hours per day. She could schedule the meeting in the PST morning, but she purposely schedules it in the PST afternoon and gets the credit for my work. PS: i saw her creating a transcript to read during the meeting Do people like this really exist? If you have personal commitments, why come to work? Don’t you have a conscience and feel guilty about stealing credit for others’ work? Nowadays, there are many posts related to stopping gender-based reservations. Is it because of situations like this?

We've seen stories and videos of employees receiving appraisals from their managers. (Of course, more of hatred) Now, as a manager, how did you prepare yourself to share such feedbacks, both positive and negative. Did your team respect you less or more after appraisals? There'd be employees who deserve more but due to higher management restrictions, they're unable to get the deserving number. How do you prepare in such situations? How were positive appraisals delivered? Share your experiences from your professional journey.

In the recent performance review, shitty manager gave bad review. Though worked very hard the last whole year. Brought this to skips notice, but he's not ready to hear what I have to say, just speaks what manager has to say ( probably not to hamper his relationship with the manager). This manager is very careless and has no idea what's going on in the team.. Other colleagues who did less than equal to work as mine got better rating than me due to their manager being good. Lost all hope and motivation to work. What should I do?? If I quit now the market conditions are too bad. Did not learn anything much in this shit company.. Looking for advice..
