Have just received an email, informing me that I have an annual appraisal on Monday at 10:00, I have to go through the objectives I set on my last appraisal so see if I have met them. I also have to evaluate myself, and set new objectives before the meeting with my line manager on Monday.

My line manager has do the same exercise before our meeting on Monday, during the appraisal we have to agree the evaluation and my coming objectives for the next reporting period.

This is my first annual appraisal with this company, but I did have an appraisal after my probation period in January. Hopefully it should be ok, the annual bonus depends on the outcome of the annual appraisal, but because I have only been with this company since October am not expecting a bonus. Saying that I don’t think anybody in the company has received a bonus for the last two years, apart from the directors that is.
