We always do anonymous Chair evaluations this time of year. This year is my last so the evaluation doesn’t have any concrete impact. Of course, people could use this opportunity to write something nice. But that’s not how humans function.
Still, one person did bother to do the evaluation and wrote that I’m kind, patient and that my research is what justifies the existence of the department and the university. I’m shocked to have one well-wisher after six years in this role. It’s one more than I expected.
Yes, I’m very curious who it is but, again, knowing people, I’m certain it’s somebody for whom I never did any favors.
