One advantage of working as a contractor is that I will never have to go through another annual appraisal again. In my permie days I both gave and received them, and feared suffocation by b**ls**t every time.

We re-arranged our office desks at the start of the year. Then had a request to fill in a DSE assessment form. Gawd Blimey!. Same desk, same height, same monitor, same chair........

I detest the concept of human resources and all it stands for. Overpaid too. With apologies to anyone on here who works in said field.

It was when the human employees began to be described by management as "resources" that I knew it was time to get out

What happens when Health and Safety manuals are so large that you need to consult the section on heavy lifting before moving them?
Then the manuals are so large and heavy that they get put on the floor
and someone trips over them?

Tell me about it!Try online mandatory refresher training (e.g. data protection, bribery and corruption, and safeguarding) where the system keeps crashing....

This thread makes me glad I only every did manual work when I was working. Having said that we did used to have annual assessments, they weren't to bad at the last job, the manager filled them in and we signed them, one place used to hand out a form with three sections in and we would have to tell them how we thought we'd done in the previous year covering three aspects of our jobs. I often wondered if I put in what I wrote the previous year if anybody would notice.

Inured to love 'e-learning' modules when I was in the police. I is dyslexic and have a report from my specialist proclaiming that due to the way my memory assimilates and retains information (ie, not very well) that such self learning malarkey are unsuitable for me. Used to really pith off HR.

And then add in IE11 non compatibility or Java and it doesn't save your completion at the end, after spending an hour on it!!Try online mandatory refresher training (e.g. data protection, bribery and corruption, and safeguarding) where the system keeps crashing....
I know I've said it before, but the best bit about working for a small company is no HR shoot. One of the Directors deals with the employment law and discipline stuff, other than that there is no need for systems and metrics and clever assessments. Everyone knows if you are doing a decent job, everyone knows if you are capable of doing more, everyone knows if you need specific training and help. Most importantly, the owners know your worth.
