Reviewed in-person with Joel Jansen [[2026-03-03]].
|
||||
|
||||
Regarding the scoring,
|
||||
Joel stated that in past years,
|
||||
the ratings were much more confusing
|
||||
|
||||
1. **???**
|
||||
2. **???**
|
||||
3. **Well Placed**
|
||||
4. **Promotable**
|
||||
5. **???**
|
||||
|
||||
I take no issue with the ratings Joel gave,
|
||||
all the topics I feel strongly enough about to argue
|
||||
were scored accurately as far as
|
||||
|
||||
### Integrity
|
||||
|
||||
Consistently demonstrates integrity in daily work
|
||||
by being honest, fair, and respectful.
|

Takes accountability for decisions and actions,
|
||||
ensuring transparency and maintaining trust with colleagues and stakeholders.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Manager Rating
|
||||
|
||||
**Significantly Above Target**
|
||||
|
||||
Delivers exceptional performance and actions,
|
||||
far beyond role targets.
|
||||
|
||||
%%
|
||||
Joel noted that I do not try to hide errors or omissions,
|
||||
though frankly that sounds like a terrible strategy.
|
||||
He knows if something was omitted or done in error,
|
||||
so even if he believed my deception
|
||||
it would only speak to my incompetence.
|
||||
%%
|
||||
|
||||
### Accountability
|
||||
|
||||
Demonstrates ownership of decisions
|
||||
and consistently meets deadlines and goals.

||||
Proactively addresses issues when they arise
|
||||
and applies problem-solving skills to ensure tasks are completed effectively.
|

|
||||
|
||||
%%
|
||||
From what I remember,
|
||||
Joel's basis for this rating was focused on the
|
||||
"Proactively addresses issues when they arise"
|
||||
and "Seeks feedback for continuous improvement"
|
||||
parts of the definition.
|
||||
%%
|

### Teamwork

|
||||
Proactively builds relationships
|

Applies feedback to take on new challenges,

recognizing that individual growth

contributes to overall organizational success.

|

%%
|
||||
Joel gave attention to how I ask questions of takeoff,
|
||||
prioritizing workflow over strict [[heuristics#Realism vs. Instrumentalism|realism]].
|
||||
Not "What will be installed here?",
|
||||
which is an easy question with no direct applicability,
|
||||
but "What do we need to include here?".
|
||||
|
||||
I stated that, due to my previous experience,
|
||||
material familiarity ought never be an issue.
|
||||
If I haven't installed it myself I can look it up.
|
||||
|
||||
The reason I ask questions this way
|
||||
is because if I assumed the answer
|
||||
based on my experience as an estimator,
|
||||
I would frequently be wrong
|
||||
because my intuition of estimating was formed
|
||||
under a different understanding of the objective.
|
||||
|
||||
Estimators who have only ever worked for one contractor
|
||||
talk about their methods and standards
|
||||
as if they are typical of estimating in general,
|
||||
The correct technique no matter who you are.
|
||||
But there is a continuum of legitimate methods.
|
||||
What is "correct" for a specific contractor,
|
||||
the point on that continuum that they ought to use,
|
||||
is dependent on its needs,
|
||||
which are not estimating's to define.
|
||||
|
||||
We discussed the lack of clear purpose for ConEst,
|
||||
and all the ills its absence has caused.
|
||||
%%
|
||||
|
||||
### Customer Focus
|
||||
|
||||
Develops strong relationships
|
||||
by consistently meeting customer expectations.
|
||||
Works independently to resolve straightforward customer issues
|
||||
and seeks help for more complex situations.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Manager Rating
|
||||
|
||||
**On Target**
|
||||
|
||||
Regularly achieves performance targets and actions.
|
||||
|
||||
%%
|
||||
Joel framed [[pdi-estimating#Bid Estimating|Bid Estimating]]
|
||||
as the customer in question,
|
||||
and implied that if I had a more involved relationship
|
||||
with the relevant bid estimators (namely Christian)
|
||||
he might have rated me higher.
|
||||
At this I stated my hesitance to do so,
|
||||
out of a preference for following the chain of command.
|
||||
|
||||
As we've agreed previously
|
||||
and as we'd reaffirmed in this discussion,
|
||||
what Bid _wants_ and what we _are obligated to provide_
|
||||
are not always aligned.
|
||||
If a ConEst estimator speaks directly to Bid,
|
||||
their senior doesn't have the opportunity
|
||||
to translate Bid's direction.
|
||||
|
||||
I don't believe this conflict was resolved.
|
||||
|
||||
I thought (but did not say out of caution of losing focus)
|
||||
that Joel himself might also be framed as my customer,
|
||||
which would make rating much easier to give,
|
||||
however it would be somewhat redundant with other values.
|
||||
%%
|
||||
|
||||
### Decision Quality
|
||||
|
||||
Makes decisions with confidence, balancing short- and long-term goals.
|
||||
Demonstrates a growing ability to make decisions independently
|
||||
while consulting others for complex scenarios.

**Above Target**

Frequently surpasses performance targets and actions,

||||
|
||||
### Drives Results
|
||||
|
||||
Works diligently to achieve results,
|
||||
following through on commitments.
|
||||
Tackles challenges independently
|
||||
and demonstrates a strong focus on delivering outcomes.

Joel said this one may not be meant for us.
|
||||
I suggested that it could be interpreted
|
||||
as conflict between sources of project requirements
|
||||
(e.g. drawing sets, specs, proposal, code),
|
||||
which I feel is one of my greater strengths.
|
||||
%%
|
||||
|
||||
### Plans & Aligns
|
||||
|
||||
Applies foundational planning techniques
|
||||
to manage daily tasks and balance priorities.
|
||||
Anticipates potential delays
|
||||

||||
my work could never truly be overdue.

||||

Delivers exceptional performance and actions,

||||
This one may be overgenerous.
|
||||
|
||||
Joel assured me that I'm not obligated to teach,
|
||||
that I could let him know if I'd prefer not to.
|
||||
I stated that I did not intend to do so,
|
||||
that I consider the ability to teach a subject
|
||||
a requirement of its complete understanding,
|
||||
and that good teachers are (rightly) given preference for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Counterexample to my general perception of my ability,
|
||||
I brought up my time shadowed by Bryam, Joel's APM observer.
|
||||
We were setting up a job,
|
||||
going through the documents and filling out the OneNote,
|
||||
...
|
||||
%%

||||

||||
### Technical

||||
|
||||
Handles routine technical tasks
|
||||
with growing confidence and minimal support.

Demonstrates a developing understanding of technical work,

%%
|

We discussed my fluency in Accubid,
|
||||
which is a skill I'm annoyed to have.
|
||||
It's like being really good at digging trenches with a garden trowel.
|
||||
Skill using a poor tool
|
||||
rarely translates to skill with a better one.
|

%%

||||
