I don't know. It doesn't really make sense. Maybe we need to put that colorful old saying out to pasture (no pun intended). Now that you mention it, there are some salty sayings involving animals.
For example the "goat rope" describing a chaotic, unorganized situation. And the classic for when you are unwittingly part of a "goat rope" but not the cause of it per seYes, there’s foxes in hen houses, dog and pony shows, ‘bout the only ones I can think of suitable for a family oriented forum. Many others come to mind but can’t post them here.I don't know. It doesn't really make sense. Maybe we need to put that colorful old saying out to pasture (no pun intended).

Yes there is one that fits the bestest of all really though. Just a thought is all.
I am self employed too, pay monthly to work there, don't really buy in to much they peddle, delete most woke emails I get from them. Do like my Broker but he's a just a paid mouth piece for the mother ship outta NJ.
I've worked at three "fortune 100" companies and they all do that stupid appraisal. And every time you show your manager your "excelling/exceeds expectations" score, they make a point to tell you the score really isn't possible anyway and knock you down to your "average" 3-4% raise.
That’s smart of you. I adapted to the standard gay folks and they performed very well. I am now at a point where I can’t adapt beyond having a few gays, dealing with vegans and hearing about the environment.
Exactly right! I have pushed up some high scores for an employee I wanted to make sure I kept.
"Here's your sign..."
Yes, when did employers start thinking it was their job or responsibility to tell you what to think or believe on personal or social matters.Na, I just shake my head. Last month was diversity and inclusion. That was a pronoun extravaganza.
It all started back in 1987 for me. I was in no position to contribute to my 401k. They called me in the office to twist my arm because my future depended on it.
My wife works for a big bank we’ve all heard of. They are always having the “woke “ agenda poured on them. The big boss is a little light in the loafers, so it’s par for the course. They contribute to all the gender, racial, and other pity party organizations. BUT!, they didn’t have money for raises last year.
Dog & pony is my favorite. It was probably my most used saying, considering I was in the military where they loooooooove them a good dog & pony show.
Raises? With all that "woke" agenda training they should have encouraged you to "self-identify" as a happy employee making more money!
I didn't know that self-appraisals (or supervisor appraisals) had anything to do with raises. In the section where I worked, all of us were "maxed out" as Electronic Tech III and couldn't be paid over & above what the labor board allows. I guess high appraisals might help me fight it if they were trying to fire me.
I checked out of the department because of this very reason I was trained old school and was to hard on the new recruits they were coming in with a fire science degree and never been in a house fire let alone a victim recovery. I called it 20/20 —20 years old and 20 years of experience
In the major companies I've worked at, your year-end appraisal/performance-review determines your raise. The process is basically your opportunity to prove your worth. To your point, if you are already maxed out, then you are simply fighting for maximum allowable raise. That's basically where I'm at. I'm capped and should only expect 3-5% raises, and my bonus, if I've earned them. If my appraisal was more mid, like average instead of above-average, then I am fighting for a 1-2% raise vs 3-5% at the higher rating.
