SCENE 1: A typical office day Characters: Amar A busy serious employee.

. Akbar & Anthony Cool, casual and careless employees. Anthony typing his appraisal form very seriously and Amar is doing his work, when Akbar enters the ODC having a conversation. Akbar: Hey why is smoke coming out of Anthonys keyboard? Amar(doing his work, disinterested to reply): May be he has to send review to the client EOD. Akbar: Hey Anthony, why are you typing like a headless chicken. Anthony: Today is last day of appraisal and I havent filled anything. I have a huge form to fill infront of me/ I have an encyclopaedia to write infront of me. Akbar: (frightened) Appa. Appraisal!!. I have to bang my head in my computer for that form. Amar: giving a look to Akbar. Akbar: (confused) But hey Amar why are you so relaxed, do you have no hopes for this appraisal?? Amar: No Macha.I have been my appraisal all through the year and today I just need to hit submit. (dramatically clicks the mouse button) and it is done. Akbar: Hey Anthony lets fill the form together. Amar: You have to be careful while filling appraisal, it will hold your yearlong efforts. Akbar: You just wait and watch. Akbar: lets start the appraisal.. First point: customer satisfaction. Anthony: I worked very hard to satisfy the customer. Akbar: Customer was satisfied by my hardwork.

Scene 2(continuation of scene 1): Amar: Are you guys not afraid how your appraisals are going to turn out. Akbar: Ahhhh. That system. I didnt forget that system in which our managers rate employees through a paper game. Antony: Paper game?? Akbar: Well. Our bosses, gather in a large room, write down the names of the subordinates in bits of paper and throw them in the air, whichever land on the floor gets average, on the table gets good, whichever they manage to catch gets excellent and whichever gets stuck the ceiling gets outstanding. Antony: And what about our usual category??? Poor Akbar: Usually they forget our names and they wont go on papers in first place. Antony: Noooooo Akbar: Cool buddy. It happens everywhere in the name of appraisal. Anyway this time at least I have to get an increment. I got three companies after me. Antony: wow... great buddy you dint say a word about it. What companies are they?

Akbar: My electric company, gas company and my telephone company. Antony: Oh Everyone laughs.

SCENE 3: Akbar frustrated with his appraisal rating and waiting for Antony who is having his turn with Manager. Anthony comes to Akbar. Akbar: Hey man. What happened? What you got? Antony: Dont ask man. He gave me peanuts. Akbar: Good.. congrats man. Antony gives a sceptic look towards Akbar. Antony: Congrats for peanuts??? So (pointing towards Akbar) Akbar: Yes. I think they forgot to write my name in the paper. Antony: Oh.. We are sailing in the same boat man. . Akbar: Are we the only two who got such a poor rating in this entire ODC. Akbar: No buddy. Lets see what Mr. Serious gets. Amar comes to the ODC. Akbar: Hey man.. What happened to your appraisal? Amar: I managed to get an amazing rating. Feeling like on cloud 9. Akbar and Antony freezes because of the shock. Amar continues. Amar: Well.. What about yours Akbar? Akbar regains consciousness and starts stammering.

Akbar: Ah.. My rating.. It.. was pretty good.. I got Oh God.. I forgot to flush the toilet.. Wait Amar Ill be back in a minute. Akbar escapes the spot without replying to Amar. Amar: Well.. Ant (contd) Antony stammers and starts running behind Akbar. Antony: Ah.. Hey wait buddy.. I will help you Wait.. huh.. Scene 4: Akbar and Antony barge in Managers office:Akbar: This is very unfair Sir. Manager: What to do guys. Dying my hair gives me young energy and I feel confident with that. Antony and Akbar looks each other confused. Antony: Sir.. we are talking about our appraisal rating. You just gave peanuts to us when that guy Amar gained a fortune. But you know that we three have same performance level. Manager: Ahhh I expected this Regarding your ratings. Guys there is nothing called fortune when it comes to labour. You three are very talented engineers I know. But you two didnt give a very good finishing touch to your work. Amar was very serious about that and he got what he deserves. Akbar: Sir.. you are talking about. ??? Manager: Yes guys.. Your appraisal forms. Antony: But we filled our appraisal forms on time. Manager: Oh.. you call that self-appraisal. Wait.. Manager shows their appraisal forms to them.

Manager: Can you spot at least five differences between the template and the one you wrote about yourself. Manager: Akbar, yours was a pirated version of Anthonys appraisal. Amar and Akbar puts their heads down. Manager: A person should be confident enough about himself before he expects any rewards from the world. Thats main motto of our appraisal flow which starts from the employee to make him explore himself and measure. Tke this as a learning and now on please take this self-appraisal very serious and work it out. Manager towards the audience. You should not think filling up appraisal as a task that you need to do but think of it as a celebration of your achievements.
