Re: Performance appraisals

[Susan W. Gallagher <sgallagher5 -at- cox -dot- net>]

In all my years as a tech writer and all my years as a doc
manager, I've never seen a tech writer evaluation that was
different from the evaluation used for the rest of the 
employees in the company. The "Communication Skills" area of
the eval may be given a litte more weight, and the objectives
will be unique to you, but otherwise, the usual "Team 
Player", "Knows Job" categories still stand.
HTH!
