so you know how we're doing end of year reviews at work? in addition to those, we also have to do what are called performance spotlights, which you're supposed to initiate before a project and then finish after the project. we need three for the end of the year. i have to find three people to do like mini-reviews of my work in three different

they are! i think the point is to keep us engaged with our jobs and the workplace. their new thing is making you the captain of your career - there's graphics with people sailing sailboats and everything - which i guess is supposed to make you feel like you have control over your professional life. (i'm an admin. it's not like i can be promoted that far, not like tax associates can move up to manager/director/managing director/whatever. i swear there are like seven or eight levels in the tax hierarchy. there are only forty people in tax, and one of them's me.) theoretically you're supposed to approach your manager or team leader before an engagement, so you can discuss your goals and expectations for that particular project, and when it's over you meet again and get and give feedback as to how you did. but my job doesn't really work that way, which makes it hard to do the specific performance reviews. they're not really peer reviews for me, tho, since i don't exactly have peers (by which i assume other admins) in tax. also this is the first time i've ever had to evaluate my own job performance, and it's not something i'm good at, altho god knows i've screwed up enough in the past four months to know where i need improvement.

(i don't know how other people feel, but you're still totally anonymous to me. :D )
