Manager here. I'd like to offer a plausible explanation for your friend's performance reviews. I tell my reports that I don't want them busting their asses or anything else, because that leads to burnout, which leads to falling behind, which makes them think they have to bust their asses to catch up, and it becomes an unhelpful cycle. Is it possible that your friend, after a year's experience, figured out ways to work more efficiently, so that they were more productive with less effort? That tends to happen when we strengthen muscles, and it also happens once you've gotten your bearings in a new role.
- lupire 4y agoMore likely if you stop paying attention to what needs doing, and more attention what your boss wants to see, you get a better review, regardless whether your boss is incentivizing business/customer needs or not.

- tw98521358 4y agoYeah I see so many areas where things need doing but they are unpleasant and provide no incentives for completion. Yeah they worked return 5-10x but that’s not something anyone cares about. Even worse if you get caught doing unpleasant things you will get punished by having to do more of them. It’s a loose loose proposition

- ZephyrBlu 4y agoI'm sure he did get better at working, but he himself said to me he cared less and was surprised about getting a better performance review. He has very little supervision/management. I doubt the company has a good understanding of what he does.
