Appraisal: One disgusting question and some paranormal activities

A: When do you think it will happen?
G: I think it should be out by EOD.
A: there is no tangible positive vibes from HR.
G: Dude this is called "paranormal activity".

Sometimes when i am sitting in my seat for hours without a break, my body seemingly asking for a nap i ask my self a few questions.
 "Will the appraisal show my performance as being good? Average? Bad?
How much increment will i get ? 10%? 15%? 20%? More? Less than 10%?
How has the company done this year? Has it made a profit? Has it made a loss? How much? Was the profit or loss in line with the projections made last year?
Do i even know?".
I am woken up by the small murmuring going on in the nearby cubicle. What i see, best describes the uniformity in diversity in the IT world. DBAs ,testers, TLs,developers gossiping about their long awaited results. Some are so disappointed with the last years' trend that they are follwing Baba ramdev, and doing pranayam to forget the word  Appraisal.
Being ultra adherent to the tight deadlines make workers(refer as developers) expect the same level of  dedication and punctuality from the  higher management.But it is not to be.Appraisal trauma keeps on piling and the minute arm covers the hour arm to show an eclipse of  5:25 PM.

Here comes the mail "Due to some XYZ reasons we are delaying the ap$!@%  process yet again".
Full KLPD to all who wasted entire day hoping that they will get the a$@##$ letters. That Room no longer remained a haunted place.People started criticising the management ,some went a step further to update the job portal profiles and after few minutes opened the putty screen and telenet 1*.3*.*.1*(due to security reasons ....lol).


Next day meetings are organised to provide some lame excuses on how the process got delayed and management respects your dedication.
Some venomous(silly as you never get straight answer to those) questions are shot at the  Boss(fictituos character boss).
To nobody's surprise there is hardly any sign of retalition from the remote end and another deadline was provided.
30 minutes pass by and all reach to a conclusion why the heck did we ask this disgusting question "Appraisal?".

Remove the questionmark from the word and enjoy the paranormal activities going on between HR and the Boss's room yet again .
