====== Annual Performance Reviews ======
Annual performance reviews provide an audit trail and feedback on how well the employee does the job (or not), including any problems or failures of the employee. In my case, I have exceptionally good annual performance reviews with consistent statements that clearly show McNeese State University has every interest in keeping me employed. I have never had a complaint filed against me and I have never had issues with any employees, staff, students, or other (with the exception of Patrick Eustis and then I was the one that complained about him).

I will attempt to scan the annual performance reviews, upload them to this server, and add them here.

The APRs use the following rating scale:
  * 1 = Fails to meet standards.
  * 2 = Needs improvement to meet standards.
  * 3 = Fully meets standards.
  * 4 = Exceeds standards.
  * 5 = Far exceeds standards.

Thus, a person doing their job exactly as requested and without fail should get a 3.
A person who goes above and beyond, should get a 4.
A person who does something beyond imagine, should get a 5.

===== Note on the Review Process =====
The Annual Performance Review process starts with me filling out my own fields on the form.
I then hand it over to Stan Hippler, who then fills it out and we meet to discuss.
I then sign the form.
Stan Hippler then signs it, and eventually sends it off to Chad Thibodeaux for his signature.
Once all signatures are made, it is returned to me.

The very last review was never returned to me, but the performance review was very positive (as usual).
I never received the Annual Performance Review I had to directly ask Charlene Abbot (from Human Resources) on the date of my Retalitory Termination to receive my performance review ([[recordings#termination_-_2017_07_18_0904|see termination recording and transcript]]).

I also noticed that the automated calculations of the averages on the form seem to be off.
These are manually re-calculated and labeled under the description name of //"actual"//.

There is inconsistency in which fields and fields are not filled out (in part because it is unclear as to which fields actually need to be filled out). It looks like each year we made different decisions on what to fill out. This also affected the //"actual"// calculations. Therefore the following fields are the ones used to calculate the  //"actual"// calculations (based on the 2017 decisions, a total of 9 areas):
  * 1) Job Skills and Knowledege
  * 2) Responsibility
  * 3) Customer Service/Collegiality
  * 4) Problem Solving
  * 5) Initiative
  * 7) University Leadership Qualities
  * 8) Organization
  * 11) Interaction With Others
  * 12) Interaction With Supervisor
