Dislikes

As like many Organizations, appraisal depends on how smooth you behave with the supervisor not on how hard you work.If you have common area between you and supervisor then you will be awarded a best of all bucket.But not all, few people will be genuine with the process. once in bench you will have to wait for ages to get another Project.
