Everyone Hates Performance Reviews
Performance reviews are hardly ever done correctly, and I think if not, then they do more harm than good. Companies should simply abandon the practice, and perhaps focus on more regular feedback/guidance opportunities.
It's coming up on review time at my work, and I think it's time to cancel them, as this author suggests.
You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here... I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell. It doesn't frighten me.
