(SEMI) ANNUAL PURR-FORMANCE APPRAISAL

Good Morning

(originally posted January 2008)

If I may reintroduce myself to you, my name is Maggy, and I am the CEO (Cat Executive Officer) of Zoolatry, Inc. and my companion is Zoey, COO (Cat Operating Officer). We have been at the helm of Zoolatry since July of 2007 and it came to our attention that it is time for the annual performance review of the Zoolatry Human who serves as our typist, our artist, our imagination and sometimes cleans our litter boxes. Her review will determine any pay grade increase, possible future promotions, and/or continuations of her benefits package. It should be duly noted that the benefits package is quite extraordinary in these times of economic distress. The Z.H. receives frequent praise and purrs from her snoopervisors, she is also often the recipient of nose tap awards and tail swishes. These benefits are not to be taken lightly, as they are not bestowed upon every employee of the company. The fact that her pay grade is mere pennies should not distract her from performing at her highest level.

QUANTITY OF OUTPUT: Rating: High

The Z.H. has posted 1,200 photoart pieces to our site. An acceptable number.

QUALITY OF OUTPUT: Rating: High

It should be noted that this rating is by the COO, Zoey, who happens to like all her silly pictures no matter what they look like.

QUALITY OF OUTPUT: Rating, Low.

This rating is given by Maggy, CEO, who finds most of her pictures unflattering, embarassing and far far more fictional-than-factual.

CLIENT PARTICIPATION: Rating: Medium

It has been recorded that initial comments averaged 1-3 per posting and they have now moved into the range of 9-10 per posting. We do strongly encourage more effort on the part of the Z.H. to increase this to higher levels prior to her next review.

CLIENT SATISFACTION: Rating: Medium-to-High

The Z.H. has received high remarks from some clients for whom we have created photoart. Yet management believes she can work more diligently to serve even greater numbers of the cat kingdom and bring additional clients to the company. Although it may be that she devotes perhaps 8-10-hours per day to our photoart creation, we would be remiss were we not to remind her that there are 24-hours in the day that could be allocated to the Wonderful Cats World.

OVERALL RECOMMENDATION: Rating: Medium

The employee may be retained by the company at this time, and should not be among those considered for layoff. However, the Z.H. we believe, has a ways to go to meet the high standards of the Zoolatry organization, and as such for this performance review period, we do not recommend a pay grade increase. We further recommend the Z.H. give up any vacation or personal time to which she may think

she is entitled -- and continue to serve our needs and wants at all times.

POSTSCRIPT, AUGUST 6, 2008

This purr-formance appraisal was initially done in January 2008. At this time, the CEO and COO of Zoolatry felt a new review was warranted. The Zoolatry Human has indicated to staff and co-workers that the current computer problems at her station are a direct result of "cats walking on keyboards" and have occurred through no fault of hers. Such blatant disrespect for management is highly inappropriate. Further, gossip and innuendo among staff and co-workers is cause for dismissal. At this time, the board of directors has agreed to put the Zoolatry Human on probation for an unspecified amount of time. Providing she can correct all her computer problems and restore integrity and calm to her workplace, it has been further agreed, she will not be dismissed.
