Performance evaluations
I got my performance evaluation a few weeks ago.
VMware’s employee rating system has the following choices:
- Exceptional
- Outstanding
- Great
- Needs Improvement
- Unsatisfactory
Supposedly I’m doing “great”, but I’m not sure if that means I’m actually doing great or if that means I don’t need improvement. The lack of a “mediocre”/“adequate”/“satisfactory” rating throws things off.

Who cares? You’re doing great! Sounds like grade inflation in the workplace to me.

They have to make everyone feel like they’re doing a good job in order to keep morale up. “Great” is probably the worst possible score. I’d start looking for another job if I were you.
