Our performance review process affects our annual payrise. Last year my boss said he was too busy to do my performance review, so asked if I could score myself and he would sign it when done. So I did as I was told. Unsurprisingly I gave myself rave reviews, and the boss signed off. When HR audited the process, they found my score was inconsistently higher than all others. When questioned, bossy couldn’t explain without getting his a*se kicked! And I still got a big payrise $$$ kerching :)
