What? A performance review is never something I've dreaded. They're just a regular, mundane, thing that happens. They tell you 'good job' give you your raise, which is sometimes just cost of living, sometimes it's $3 to $5k, and then you go back to your desk and go back to work.
It just feels like it's a standard in place to make sure people get income bumps every years. I don't think it's as big a deal as the author is claiming.
- outworlder 8y agoIf you are at a relatively health company/group, they are just a chore (like setting 'goals', which noone really looks at until the next review is approaching). As you say, you just go back to your desk and forget about it. I have had 'performance reviews' where the manager would just make up outrageous claims that were simply not true. So they can be a dreadful experience.
