It's been annual appraisal time (in fact we've had to run through last year's appraisal as well, as we managed to skip it at the time but it's since come up as an ISO 900-whatever issue...). They still like me, there's still fuck-all budget for raises or promotions, but what they can do is spend their training budget, so I've been encouraged to find lots more things to learn. When there is a budget for promotions again I have a very, very strong paper trail to justify it up the managerial chain. And now it's over I can actually get some work done!
(I work for a FTSE 100 company, doing terrible things to innocent data. It didn't used to be a FTSE 100 company but we got taken over. As well as being an ISO-whatever shop we now have a competency model and 360-degree feedback.
I think I may dress up as 360-degree feedback for Halloween.)
