How much of a manager's evaluation should rest on whether he/she met his/her projected budget?

The results of your work should either increase revenue or reduce operating expenses.  If you are not doing one or both of these, then your value to your company is less.

I think the situation would be the same in your arena as in mine (hospitality industry - small town - avg monthly pay about $800.00).  First, need to find if these changes are being done exclusively by your boss or manager or whether it's being dictated by higher up.  If it's your boss or manager, request a meeting, have a presentation ready to back up your views, and have alternatives available for discussion.  If it's higher ups, request a meeting with your boss and discuss if he's feeling a decline in productivity and discuss your views to see their reaction, then find out if there is any way of making a presentation for the higher ups to discuss alternatives.\n\nIn our situation, employee moral is flagging, we've had staff quit, then restart to force fifty cent an hour raises they had been promised, slackness in attention to detail, even one instance where I had been asked to work a shift and the person originally scheduled also in, and when they checked with the office, found the manager unavailable, but his name had been scratched from the schedule - no forewarning of dismissal.\n\nEven though the manager is taking their cue directly from owner, after I made presentation, it took 3 weeks to get a response, and where she originally indicated she would consider anything to help resolve the situation, it was pretty much that she didn't pass it on, and that I should spend more time concentrating on work and less on improving conditions.  Just be prepared that your suggestions might not be taken in the spirit being offered.

Seriously, post the case details.  In general, though, you reiterate what was in the case for the strategic parts of it, such as why it was a good/bad idea to do XYZ.  For the financial parts of them (if it's a finance case), just open up Excel and map out the cash flows, income statement, balance sheet and whatever else you might need.  Calculate as necessary.

Blowing things off for management to do is ok but it's really not the answer.  Management expects the employees they pay to work out their own issues.  \n\nIf an attempt to work this out with her has already been taken (you've actually DISCUSSED this with this lady) and nothing was done, THEN you discuss it with management.\n\nIf you haven't talked to her already, then talk to her.  Let her know what the problem is.  She honestly may not be aware that she has a problem.\n\nAnd you would be doing her a greater service talking to her personally rather than letting her hear it from management and then finding out that everyone was talking about her behind her back.  Bad form!!!  Talk to her.

The usual Manager's percentage is 33 1/3 but it could be lower. Trainers make 10% or lower.

Talk to the management about it first. Tell them how you feel. It would'nt hurt to check around first to see what you can get paid elsewhere and if they are hiring.Get all your facts straight before talking to them. Write down all your points you want to make and bring it in with you.   >GOOD LUCK !!!

There are lots of variables to consider--location, your previous experience and particular expertise in this specific area, size of the organization, size and duration of the project, and whether you are working as a consultant or an employee ... but $65K is a generic estimate. It could go anywhere from $55K to 80K up to 120K ... so maybe you should be more specific in what you're really asking.

In my experience, nothing is relevant to a performance appraisal.  It's all BS.  Just grin and bear it, then get it over with as soon as possible.

If the metrics are being produced by some-one on the project team other than the project manager - perhaps a "project controls" person, then I would accept the project manager to perform some level of audit to ensure the data he's getting is appropriate.\n\nThere could still be another level audit/review, probably by the project sponsir, if the project has a high enough risk associated with it.\n\nIf the project manager is producing their own metrics directly, then it would seem to make less sense that they would formally audit their own work, but of course they would be checking their own calculations.

I'm currently the VP of Operations and IT for a non-traditional commercial lending bank.  I don't really remember what questions they asked me - but it's important when you're getting someone to do this particular job (operations manager) that they can deal effectively with people (maybe you ask what was the largest group of people they previously managed, or if their current employees were to describe them with 3 words what would those 3 words be), that they're competent with the systems that you're using, or if you're using something special (like you've written your own software) that they're able to pick up on that quickly, and that they understand how to analyze financial data, both for budgeting purposes (i.e. reporting to the board of directors) and for management purposes (i.e. budgeting for employee attrition as well as future growth).

It's a perfectly good question. You'd like to know the range. This gives you more bargaining power, but don't be surprised if they answer a question with a question, "What are your salary requirements?" Be prepared. And good luck!

It's not easy of course, but it doesn't have to be hard...\nIt depends on what your client wants to research upon which you will decide on the methods used to research and the budget required. Some clients will make it hard and pretend they know it all, and some will be nice and accept whatever you say..

The key word there is ~up to~  He can't expect to be paid the maximum right off the start... Have him show his resume, and depending on years experience he could say give me a trial period @ this much if it works out I would like this much.. Nothings ever lost by asking..

Typically you would present your actual numbers for the period  in one column and the budget in another column and maybe last years actual number in the next column in such a fashion that they can be easly compared.  When comparing the amounts by line item big variances would trigger some further investigation.\n\nBudgets are typically for your own use although if you supply a budget to your bank they might want to see a comparison.  Budgets are never a part on any audited financial statements.

There is no exact date because the Management has the discretioin to decide on interest rates.

Hire an appraiser for a true evaluation in this case.
