So a friend of mine recently said they were going to essentially directly ask their manager for a specific rating in their annual review. As in "I would like to be rated [insert rating here]". I was a bit taken aback by this because to me it seems a bit rude, aggressive, and presumptuous, and like telling your manager what to do / how to do their job. However, I talked to someone else and they said they would do this too.
So I'm curious, what's your take? I'm also curious on how culture and gender identity impacts this. Feel free to respond in the poll and / or leave a comment if you feel comfortable.
@thePunderWoman - I actually had a direct report do this when I did their monthly review. It kinda took me aback, but after some quick thinking, I gave them the review they "deserved" BUT couched it in "Now, if you want be graded higher, here's how you can do it."
