It’s Monday. It’s annual review day.

Anxiety is there to look after us. It's pretty normal to feel a bit at times. Tomorrow it will be over and done with! 🫡 (I didn't much like 'appraisals' as we called them, either...)

Over confidence can lead to disappointment. I like your approach. It’s totally normal to feel nervous. Good luck and let us know.

In my experience it is because of the randomness. In every org I have worked we got the same training of constant interaction...praise, assistance, should be no surprises, ideal is reviews from above and below, etc.

Yet in every instance, it was a dreaded poorly organized affair with little value that did most of the "dont do this" items in the trainings.

Because you're very keenly reminded that you work there on someone else's sufferance and performance assessment time is a very helpless feeling.

I hated review days when I was being reviewed and when I was the manager doing the review. Fortunately, I had a great staff, so most reviews were pleasant.

You got this sis! Totally understand your nerves. It’ll be fine. 🤗🤗

I was always nervous about reviews...even though I didn't have as much to worry about as many others. It's natural to worry about things when you care

I doubt myself daily...in work...in my relationships...in prioritizing my life goals!

I declare you wonderful and your performance outstanding.

Review complete.

Till next year 👍

I hope it goes really well for you! You do work hard, and I sure hope they know.

You got this. They don’t take points off for clumsiness do they?

it's first cousin to "test anxiety"

you're gonna do fine!

Good luck to ya! You'll be just fine!

I sooooo read that wrong. Not anal review day. I need more coffee
