99 Employees Out of 100 Hate Performance Reviews
Nov 11
C’mon, SHRM, don’t serve me softballs. I I got an email today titled, “Performance Review Best Sellers.” Among the best sellers? Perfect Phrases for Performance Reviews.
Here’s a phrase for HR people and managers who use “Perfect Phrases for Performance Reviews”: Get out.

The irony, of course, is that people want feedback. They just don’t want a performance review, because it’s not a good form of feedback.
@Chris, you got it, brother. Talk to me every day…leave me alone on performance review day.
Writing a well done performance appraisal, is like writing a really good love letter, or the perfect, Dear John letter.
You can’t buy that kind of writing from someone else.
@Bill You can’t get comments as good as this one anywhere. That’s a piece of art in itself.
