Mr. Morrison, the evaluation process is based on the employee’s absolute current and/or past performance standards. The evaluation process is not based on the younger employees compared to the older ones or who has more experience and who has less. However, the performance evaluation evaluates how well you are doing your job, your effectiveness, quality, and performance and whether they meet the company’s goals or not. Therefore, this is a misunderstanding that your boss has evaluated you lower because you don’t have experience or you are younger than the other employees. Your boss must have informed you of the performance appraisal evaluation criteria during the appraisal interview or in advance.
I recommend you personally speak to your boss and clear the misunderstanding. Making progress on the job and performing the task is good. However, the employees should also keep in mind the other required criteria such as attitude, group work, appearance and many others that hugely affect employee’s performance evaluation. I also strongly recommend by talking to your boss find out what you are doing right so you can continue with those activities and find out what changes you need to make in order to be highly evaluated next time.
