Reflecting on appraisals

Back in India until Feb 3rd and then back in Boston for 6 weeks! More will be posted at some point about Cambodia and Bali vacation which was awesome.

I'm starting to pen some initial thoughts on the appraisals I need to write and am starting to form the following concept: Promotions earned early are typically rewards for acting like you're already at that level. Promotions that happen after the "normal" period of time are reflections of solid performance at the level you're already at...Exceptions to this clearly apply based on the disfunctionality of the organization's promotional process.
