The Humorous Side of Performance Appraisal

From Dilbert cartoons to Internet E-mails we have all see things we would like to say when that frustration takes us over the edge.  Here is a little over the edge humor.  The comments section on many an evaluation is sometimes left blank because managers aren't sure what should be listed.  Here's a collection of phrases you wish you could add:

What I'd Really Like to Say IS!
  • Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom and has started to dig. 

  • I would not allow this employee to breed. 
  • This employee is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definite won't be. 
  • Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.
  • When she opens her mouth, it seems that it is only to change feet.
  • He would be out of his depth in a parking lot puddle.
  • This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
  • He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
  • This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.

  • Donated his brain to science before he was done using it.
  • Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
  • Has two brains: one is lost and the other is out looking for it.
  • If he were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.
  • If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you'd get change.
