No more performance reviews. Instead, performance reviews!

- icedchai 3y agoThe typical "performance review" process involves writing pages of BS that nobody really reads or cares about. I'd much rather a simple rating and a quick conversation.
- linguae 3y agoI’m reminded of what Deming has said about performance reviews, going as far as to call it a “deadly sin of management.” For context, Deming was a famous statistician who went to Japan after WWII and introduced management techniques that boosted the quality of products; he is still a well-known figure in Japan. A lot about Deming’s philosophy on performance reviews can be found here (https://deming.org/deming-on-management-performance-appraisal/ https://deming.org/deming-on-management-performance-appraisa...). Sadly I’m unaware of any American companies that adopts Deming’s philosophy on performance management. The HP Way was similar, but the HP Way died at HP decades ago and HP is now run like any other corporate American enterprise, but I digress.
- nearting 3y agoThe "philosophy on performance reviews" linked here seems to be only a few paragraphs, which I'd hardly characterize as a lot on Deming's views. His philosophy is essentially "performance reviews reward conformity rather than improvement of the review process".
