No performance reviews. If you do good, you get generous raises, stock options to get your own piece of the pie, and a bigger role in making the company succeed. If you do bad, mediocre, or merely slightly above average, you get a generous severance package and the gentlest kick out the door.
I do not understand why adult human beings, who get a few short years to do something creative and useful, want so bad to be treated so similarly to grade school children. Line up to pee in the cup and have your bodily fluid tested just like the cattle you fat fucks gorge yourselves on. Come into the principa...manager's office and get reduced to some meaningless numbers it a social ritual that directly links to mankinds worse tendencies to form hierarchies that exist to mantain power. Piss away the potentially creative years of your lives living the same day over and over again and get a few measly biosurvival tickets in return, until you drop dead. If you are going to go through life processing your relationships to power structure like a grade school kid, what's the point of being an adult?
I do not want to hire the kind of person who needs or wants to be validated like a second grader. I would prefer to hire the kind of person who demands the dignity and responsibility due to adult human beings, and would blow me off if I tried to sit down and hand out gold stars based on what's already happened. I would prefer to address real problems when they come up, as appropriate, and ignore nitpicks rather then saving nitpicks to be unleashed in a minefield of potential miscommunications and ignoring problems with employees until the review. There is no need to have this stupid ritual every six months.
I do like his "preview" idea. The idea of replacing review with long range planning seems exactly right. Companies exist to invent the future, attention should be focused on the future.
