What is a perf room? Had to ask

• nostrademons 13y ago
  In some of Michael's previous comments, he's said that there is a dedicated Perf Room at Google where managers go to come up with secret calibration scores that decide each employee's future. I and every other Googler I know have never heard of such a Perf Room - calibration happens quarterly in an ordinary conference room where the managers within a department get together and cross-check each others' scores to make sure that no manager is inappropriately favoring or hurting their own reports at promotion time. I can only assume that someone was pulling his leg with a sarcastic comment and he took it literally.
