Quotes from job performance evaluations
This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom and started
to dig.
His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid fascination.
This associate is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a
definite won't-be.
Works well under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in
a trap.
When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever
foot was in there.
He sets low personal standards and then constantly fails to achieve
them.
This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
He would argue with a signpost.
He brings joy - whenever he leaves the room.
I would not allow this employee to breed.
He would be out of his depth in a puddle
A prime candidate for natural deselection
As bright as Alaska in December
If you gave a penny for his thoughts, you'd get change

BOB SMITH
THE BOSS ASKED FOR
A LETTER DESCRIBING BOB SMITH:
Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found
hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without
wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
finishes given assignments on time. Often Bob takes extended
measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be
dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
executed as soon as possible. Signed Project Leader

That idiot was reading over my shoulder while I wrote
the report sent to
you earlier today. Kindly read only the odd numbered lines
(1, 3, 5, ...)
for my true assessment of him.
