At my place of work it is common for people to spend multiple days on these things, with some people on my team spending a whole week. I'm told the process was substantially more heavy weight before I got here. Maybe you are just blissfully unaware of the true costs? I would give your right arm to waste only an hour every review cycle on this counterproductive insanity! I would happily accept no promotions or raises above inflation to not go through this were it an option.
- SpeedilyDamage 4y agoWhere, on the spectrum of time spent per year, do you think your company lies with regard to writing annual self evaluations as compared to other companies?
- TexanFeller 4y agoPeople that come from big tech companies seem to have no problem with it, and many people I talk to are thrilled with the process so we must be in a somewhat normal ranges. I think I have quite different goals. They are happy to play games and burn a week because it often results in raises and promotions. I'm intrinsically motivated and value happiness, and lack of games and politics above maximizing pay so to me it's misery.
- SpeedilyDamage 4y agoOkay so you think "spend a week, doing nothing else, on your annual performance review" is a normal way of operating at a tech company? Cool, no more questions, thanks for your time.
