| Oct 16, 2019 at 2:12 | comment | added | asgallant | @Arun if you manager is in a position to evaluate your performance based on the whole of your effort and not just quantity, then s/he is paying lipservice to an ideal that s/he doesn't actually support. Of course, your manager might not be in that position and is forced to use evaluation criteria handed down from above, and is sincere in his/her comments; I can't tell you which. Either way, it seems clear that your goals and your employer's are not aligned. | |

Eventually, you'll end up on the losing side. | |
| Oct 15, 2019 at 14:51 | comment | added | Arun | Thank you all. In fact, in the meetings, my manager wants everyone to be 'me', but somehow it doesn't translate into performance appraisal. I am paid well, and I am not a money man. But the rating of me being lower than others' bothers me. I am unwilling to trade quality for quantity for the fear of forgetting/losing my skills. I guess it's time to move on. | |

| Oct 15, 2019 at 14:37 | comment | added | Seth R | @SouravGhosh, it's still a choice. Not one I recommend myself, but I don't presume to know OP's priorities. Perhaps pride in his work is more important to him than getting paid. | |
| Oct 15, 2019 at 14:33 | comment | added | Sourav Ghosh | How is the first one a "choice"? It's somewhat same as suicide. :) | |
