I know this isn't necessarily a universal experience, but does anybody else have trouble writing a self-assessment without exposing your self-esteem issues rawer than a sunburn at a nude beach?

I'm reading what I write, nodding empathetically, and then going "okay now how uncomfortable would you be if this was somebody else describing themselves?"
and then editing a bit and looping again

@randomgeek I feel like this is pretty universal.

@jpthuot03 I know it's a widespread sentiment, but I suspect if this was universal we'd be using a different system by now.

@randomgeek I have this experience and just make note of it in the review. if they’re going to ding me for having self-esteem issues, well, it’d be interesting to be fired for having self-esteem issues

@sungo good call. Honestly, I scrutinize the poor self-esteem expression as well. A certain amount of critical self-awareness is good and healthy, but there's a vague point past which I'm just showing off trauma scars.

It’s true, it does force some introspection.
I’ll chip in my two cents that I have been a people manger a few times in my career. I find self assessments to be very useful; they shine a light into places I didn’t know my team had. I actually builds camaraderie in a weird way.

@randomgeek Worst part of working is writing those damn things.

@randomgeek well, I don't know about that. We're kinda dumb in some fundamental ways...
