Do you think you consider yourself as a good employee? The word "good" is to broad and subjective, but you can still rate yourself based on your own judgment. You can ask yourself like "Is my time in office all accounted for, or do I spend it doing mostly personal things" ... If you are not an employee, maybe you could rate yourself on the things that you do at home.

But, when I did work out of the house, I was a very good emplyee. I was dependable, on time, and worked as if it were my own place. I am the same way at home, organized, and get the jobs done right and on time.

I do consider myself a good employee. I always put in my full time, often more hours than needed and I don't get paid overtime. I am honest, trustworthy and always eager to do the right thing. Heck, I ASK for more responsibility when I can and try to beat deadlines when I can. I think I am a good employee.

I think I'm a very good employee in that regard. I never do personal stuff except of coarse when I'm on break. I also never call in and basically am there every day. I try my best but it seems I can never stay caught up and the mistakes I make sometimes make me feel like I'm not a good employee.

I am a part time employee , but I work a split shift. I have been there for three years and have never missed any time until this morning, had to take the morning off for jury duty, but was back at work this afternoon. I am a driver and I have never had an accident nor problems with passengers. So I guess I would have to rate myself pretty high....:}

I think I'm a pretty good employee, though I do have problems getting along with my coworkers sometimes. I am never late, never take a day off, don't goof off on the internet, and most of my work satisfactorily. So, I would think I was a good worker.

When I was working, I earned every penny of my paycheck. I would always start early and always had my wor finished before leaving for the day. I chose my own hours but most of the time I stayed over if they needed me in another department. I changed the way the person before me did the job. I made things run more efficiently. It took them over a year to replace me when I moved to Scotland.

I think i have been a good employee. I do my work on time. I chat now and then with friends but doesnt mean i have been irresponsible about my job. I come to work eevryday and rarely tardy or absent. I think to me that is good. And i believe i am productive too.

I would like to think so. Because when i'm at work I make sure that my time at work is purely spent on my job. As much as I can, I try to make full use of my 8 hrs of work, finishing tasks as much as I can. I do my best to abide within the company's policies. I make sure that I am able to deliver upon the deadline assigned to me. I try not to come late for work and I avoid having absences as possible. I also do extra work upon request of my supervisors.

I was a very good employee until a few years ago and then I became the worst employee ever because I always wanted the my bosses job.
I went on to create my own job and now don't work for anyone instead I have people work for me or with certain companies I own I'm the owner and employee... :)

I am a good employee. My work ethic is something that I prize actually.
I am always on time and am very helpful to both customers and other employees. Also, I spend any free time that I have at my job (when there aren't any customers and all my side jobs are done) reading and learning about banking so that I can become a more knowledgeable employee. I ask and answer questions in meetings, I speak to my supervisor when I have concerns instead of just letting things go, and if I don't know something I ask how to do it instead of just passing it off to someone else.
I might not be modest enough though. *laughs*

I happen to believe that i am one of the best workers. I do a lot at my job more than a normal person could do. My boss knows that im practically the best person she has there. She keeps giving me more to do all the time. I acutally happen to enjoy recieving more work. Sometimes i even request more work. I am very eager and willing to learn and very good at taking on work.

I feel that Iam an motivated employee.I abide with the norms and discipline set by my organization and proove my abilities accordingly.How can one be judgemental about your self as a employee.It is upto your seniors to find whether you are matching their criteria or not.Many a times you find you have burned midnight oil and in few seconds your work is discarded by your boss?Then,do you cease to be a good employee?No.As this matter is very subjective in nature one has to try and give the best possible response with his full abilities to do justice with the expectation aroused for the particular job position one holds.Remain motivated,discilplined and you will reap rich benefits from your colleagues and seniors
