Figured I'd test this out as I'm taking a break from work. This could be a dangerous tool! I'm currently in the process of filling out my performance review at work. It'll be 1 year on September 14 that I've been back with my original company (roughly 11 years total). I left my current job about 2 years ago for more opportunity and more money, unfortunately it was for a defense contractor that lost a major contract last summer. That meant a 3 month vacation for me. I was lucky enough to have maintained good relationships with my former employer and they graciously took me back.
I'm struggling on the all-too-familiar sections titled, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" and "What are your goals for the coming year?"
Here's how I would like to answer the former question:
"I see myself as a partner in the company. If I gain a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, industrial technology or business, is that a possibility? If not, I see myself as just another qualified social studies teaching candidate, painstakingly looking for work."
And the latter:
"I would like to be set up with a computer at home, because I can do my job without any issues from my home office. I would also like to switch to a 20-30 hour work week, with health benefits intact of course, so that I can attend school on more of a full-time basis."
Time will tell if I have the courage to copy and paste this post into my performance review.... For now though, it's back to work.
