Weekly Self Assessments
Once per week on a Thursday at 4:30 PM, we use an Automatic Check-in on one of our Basecamp Projects for internal topics. We ask the following:
If anyone is at 6 or below in any area, we figure out why and what we can do to fix it. What we want to avoid or eliminate are situations like this:
- I’m not being paid enough, so I’m going to slow down work, not work, or put in a less than earnest effort— yet still expect the company to pay 100% for partial efforts.
- I’m continually getting away with working an hour or two a day but billing a whole day. Because I see others able to get away with this, I believe I can, too.
- I’ve got low morale, so I’m not able to work and don’t feel like communicating. I still need money for bills, since my landlord isn’t giving me a discount on rent. So I require full payment even though I’m not providing a full effort.
