Corporate Wierdness

Today was the last day to fill in the appraisal and I casually opened my peoplesoft only to find to my horrors that my manager was by the name Srini (if you did not guess, he is not my manager :)).

Now I know this guy was a manager in Minneapolis for some other account but I had no clue that i was reporting to him. Clueless I asked the Peoplesoft helpdesk within the company as to what is happening.

They mentioned some technical mumbo-jumbo etc... That they had some huge number of record changes and that the transfer of record was intiated through a manager through some other system which was linked blah blah... etc...

I asked at the end what the deal was - He said - nothing can be done about it...

Then I thought - So this appraisal I am going to be appraised by a person who does not have a clue as to what I am working on and I dont have a clue what he will be evaluating me on. I always knew it was a process which is considered a necessary evil and something which is so important in the careers of people has been treated so shabbily.

To cut the long story short, I have decided to default by not filling in the appraisal.
