Haha, oh dear :D
I'm not against appraisals as such, I think they're a good way of making sure everything/everyone is okay. I just can't see what's wrong with you telling your manager how you feel and your manager telling you how you're doing. All this "proving that you can do your job" is just nonsense - I have to present things like minutes of meetings to show that I attended meetings and took part, when my manager was chairing the meeting. It's total bullshit O_o

...aaaand relax :)

I can understand it in a 15,000 employee mega corp,
but 30 of us, in one office . . .

If someone had had any kind of problem, I'd have known.

I think probably a few of them had a megacorp background, and not getting the form once a year (regardless of whether they filled it in) made them think we weren't doing it properly.

But fair's fair - we did buy a new coffee machine, so it was all worth the effort.
