The Art of Appraisal

Big Boss: This year your performance was good, excellent and outstanding. So, your rating is "average".

Staff: What? How come 'average'?

Big Boss: Because...err...uhh...you lack domain knowledge.

Staff: But last year you said I am a domain expert and you put me in this project as a domain consultant.

Big Boss: Oh is it? Well, in that case, I think your domain knowledge has eroded this year.

Staff: What???
