1 Hi everybody,
It doesn't matter what the Supreme Court says or does. In the end, it is for
the administration to act on it. In India, we dont utilise our brains for doing
something good, But just wait and see, some one will come up with a better idea
to beat around the system.
In Armed forces, it is heard that the ACRs are intimated to the personnel after
a period of three years and that too the marks (which are in a very wide range)
is not intimated, just the grade is intimated, which is just the same as i have
mentioned above (beating around the bush). Even getting a very good grade does
not assure one of promotion, since the range in the particular grade is very
high. Also, the chamchagiri (as it is properly known) will not reduce, since
the number of promotions are very less compared to the number of aspirants.
Further, as commented by suma, the average thinking of Indians are very less and
the boss always thinks negative about his sub-ordinate if he refuses to do his
personal work. Any way hoping to see a bright future atleast fifty years from
now.

2 It is time the government and defence sector proacted and moved onto a 360
degrees feedback system.It is vital that an appraisal system should not
discriminate on lines of who is the " favourite of the boss" over and above
parameters of performance. Often team spirit, competency levels in an
organisation is confused by the rating official as the person who can “play
favourites to whims of the boss” to the maximum/ more than the team and is
awarded to be the top performer. And hence an appraisal system should try and
minimize this gap to make it an attractive organisation to work for.The number
of people going to court would definitely come down for this purpose.

We do hear that in the government and defence sector the result of an appraisal
system is known to an official for the first time after a period of 5-10 years,
where he picks up his first rank. ( this is really long and would breed chronic
ill health in a work environment). Conducting of examinations on understanding
of the appraisal system on both `rating officers’and` being rated officials’
would minimize any dissatisfactions or biased feeling on the officials in the
system.

I am sure this is food for thought for both, officials in a government setup as
well as the legal system in the country. Every job should give a fair platform
for career development and empower a person to perform better for the
organisation and country at large.

4 Irrespective of the rules it is very difficult for the conditions in India to
change. I have
been in the govt service for sufficient time and now understand that
a) true to the nature and standard of a "under developed country" an average
superior expects only people who say 'yes' since he himself was doing the same.
b) since we have so much manpower there are sufficient number of people who
will
satisfy the above criteria.
c) those people who do not meet the above guidelines will be sidelines and will
never become bosses and the system will continue like that.
d) since in an average middle class we were never taught to say "no" (right of
diagreement)
I think it is in our blood.
e) so do not expecte miracles and you bring thousand more rules/guidelines out
country wil not change since the average integrity levels are quite low and
people know how to break/bend the rules.
best regards

7 This is regarding the NEWS "Supreme Court Monday ruled that the government must
apprise its employees of the annual assessment of their performance,
irrespective of it being good or bad". Even before Hon'ble Court has given this
verdict, it was expected to be an integral part of an annual assessment. But in
reality, it takes several years by the system to inform an employee that he was
good or bad leaving no scope for any improvement. Hon'ble Supreme Court has to
appoint a committee to see it is implemented and is adopted by each and everyone
in the larger interest of improvement.
