Unfair performance evaluation

gettingtheresometime

In fairness I'd be a bit miffed to be told in an appraisal that I met some expectations which affected bonuses, pay awards etc only to be told at a later date (when it appears to suit the company) that the grading was wrong.

However to suggest leaving without a job to go to has to take the award for the most ill advised advice ever.

If you feel that the company could subsequently back track again look for another role. Revenge is a dish best served cold

If you took sick leave when you were not sick then this is misconduct, your company does not have to agree with your view of your own ability, and there is nothing inconsistent about saying you have critical skills and saying that you fall short in some areas.

You seem to think that there's an obligation on your employers to be "fair". There isn't.

of course I am sick. The situation is very stressful as I expected promotion that year and was told that I do not meet some expectations even for my current role. A year later, I am told that they made a mistake on my performance appraisal. The doctor advised to take a sick leave due to stress and anxiety because of the situation.

I am very concerned with the situation, it is very stressful and I took a sick leave. I will appreciate any advice on the above.

So your taking sick leave because you disagree with your performance evaluation... I can see why you got such a poor rating!.

In your OP you say you can't understand how someone with critical skills can have a poor rating. Just because someone has important business skills doesn't mean they are a good employee.

While your treatment is unfair and wrong, there is no law against this. I would leave at the earliest opportunity, just make sure you have some savings. It took me four months to find a job after having resigned in very similar circumstances.

Withdrawing you critical skills is the best punishment for your boss. Don't get bitter though, it's only a job, and he/she can't help being an idiot. Just smile to yourself every time they provides further evidence of this. :-)

That said, you may find that if you resign when they are laying staff off, they may offer you a pay rise to stay! If you stay, make sure you get more than you would have got if they have rated your performance fairly.

I do not want to stay , but I do not want to resign without compensation. They are making people redundant by offering mutual separation and that is my aim.

No, I have taken a sick leave due to a very stressful and hostile work environment which has significant impact on my mental condition. This was advised by the psychiatrist.

Yes, typical abuse of authority by my boss to serve his short term self interests

That's not what you said in the OP. What you said they say was that it didn't matter.

Also, you say that never signed it and made it clear you were disputing it, so I think what they are saying is you can't disagree when it suits, but then agree when it does.

And their aim is to only compensate those they believe to be a real loss to their company. Their action seem to indicate that they don't think this applies to you, so will do what they can not to. If they can't be legally challenged, than not much you can do.

In the OP,I said they said it was a mistake and ratings mean nothing. Both statements.

Yes, I disagreed with it and never signed.

The problem is that the criteria was based on a 2015 rating, that is why I applied and that 2015 rating became relevant.

There's more to life than worrying about a promotion at work...

Plus, half the time you can combat stress and anxiety by eating well, drinking plenty of water, exercising and maybe also meditating. No need to go to the doctors and sign yourself off if you learn how to handle stress better.
