Going through the annual 'self review' stage with my company. One step is to evaluate one's performance over a number of areas and give yourself a rating from a drop down box from 'Needs Improvement' to 'Meets expectations' to 'Exceeds expectations.'
I gave myself 'Meets' in all areas except one, where I honestly met more challenges and delivered better results than I would have anticipated. So, I selected 'Exceeds expectations.'

That was a month ago. Got the message today from my boss that she's not allowed to forward 'Exceeds,' so 'Meets' would have to do.
Then. Why. Have. It. As. An. Option.
-And-
Why should I ever work harder than average from now on?

@Mark15 Same thing here. We joke that we'd have to save an elderly patron from a burning library while singing "The Wheels on the Bus" to get a "very good" rating.
@LiberalLibrarian Building might have been on fire and the patron in need of medical intervention, BUT there's half a cart just sitting there waiting to be reshelved.
