                We brought you in today because we are very impressed with your performance this quarter.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                We set ambitious goals,
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                and you had a 50% success rate, meeting two of the goals.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                We weren't planning on giving out bonuses,
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                but you exceeded our expectations as a sales team member,
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                so you will be presented with a $2,500 bonus check.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                Wow, that is great news.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                I worked very hard,
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                so it's great to be recognized for my hard work.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                Do you have any other feedback on what I can improve?
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                Great question.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                While your coworkers scored you high on organization and communication,
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                they did note that you often sent emails late at night.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                While this isn't a huge problem,
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                try to stick to working hours for email communications,
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                as some associates feel pressured to respond.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                That's good feedback.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                I work well at night, and never thought about their point of view.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                I will take that into consideration.
              
                
              
                          
                
                                
                Will this evaluation be factored into a salary raise next quarter?
