As a side, am I alone in my cynicism of corporate work and the "performance review"? Surely there must be others?? Maybe I need therapy 🙂
No, James, you are not alone in your cynicsm of performance reviews. I work for a government contractor and it is a strange mix of consulting, corporate work and bureaucracy. It's a job, certainly an interesting one, but can drive me absolutely bonkers. Performance reviews are one of the most obnoxious parts of the job. Totally subjective, written by someone who knows very little about my job (unless I write my own review), and has to be reviewed and accepted by a list of government and civilian supervisors. But, like I said, it's a job and I do enjoy it for the most part.
As for you needing therapy.... probably true of most technologists, don't you think? :blink:

The best counter-measure to performance reviews is a detailed log of accomplishments and contributions. Journaling is a Good Thing.
