TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Glad to see that the corporate world's penchant for B.S. continues to know
no bounds. Having had to write my own report in my last "permanent
employee" position (not to mention 14 years in the USAF), I'd have to agree
that your co-worker has you on the right track. Any chance you get to
squeeze in the terms "single-handedly" or "synergy" (is that one still
good?) should be pounced on as well.
Keep in mind that you probably can't go too wrong with the final product
since you are essentially ghost-writing for your boss (who likely has the
real responsibility to craft the rating); it won't get past him/her until
he/she is satisfied - just don't put it through too many cycles or your
credibility with him/her will suffer!
