Just when I thought the whole process and idea behind performance reviews couldn’t get any more ridiculous fluncktional managers are given a new directive.
The performance review varies slightly from group to group and Shitshow to Shitshow but when you strip off the superficial façade, you’ll find they are all a waste of time and a complete joke. If it’s rating yourself (see Performance Reviewl) or handpicking the people who evaluate you (flunkies grading flunkies) all reviews end up with meaningless and inflated scores. So what is the Shitshow’s solution? All flunktional managers are now required to give at least one, and preferably more that one, low score to every employee. The reasoning given is that it will help create a bell curve to better evaluate their minions. It doesn’t take a PhD in statistics to see that any curves this new scoring rule makes is as big of a joke of Queen Perfume wining the Rising Star Award.
Because the Shitshow's solution to meaningless scores is to make them even more meaningless, I throw rocks.
