When appraisal goes bad

Gary Bean, executive coach at Performance Coaching International digs out real appraisal comments that show you how not to do it

• Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom and has started to dig
• I would not allow this employee to breed
• This associate is not so much of a has-been, but more a definitely won't be
• This young lady has delusions of adequacy
• Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap
• When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change which ever foot was previously in there
• He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them
