Re: I need help

I must agree with Bill on this.  I've done self-evaluations at every 
captive gig I've had, regardless of the strength of the 
managers.  I've also worked at several companies where I had no 
written job description at all and they ultimately decided that it'd 
be good if we all had 'em.  While it certainly could be a sign of 
ineffective mgmt, I think that this request is just what it looks 
like on the face of it: a self-eval and a request for information on 
what Zen's desired goals may be.
