Our employee handbook states we are supposed to undergo annual performance reviews but I never received one in the years I've been with this company. I don't believe anyone on my team has received one either but other teams within the company have as there have been promotions.

I know I'm not perfect and have even asked the person I report to for feedback / training / continuing education opportunities and he literally says he doesn't have any for me. I've asked HR too but they have no suggestions.

There is some incompetence, negligence and careless mistakes that occur repeatedly with specific team members but there isn't any kind of corrective measures being made with anyone. I believe performance reviews would help rectify this problem.

When working for previous companies, we had extensive performance reviews, 1 on 1s and step 1 on 1s with our supervisor's supervisor. Everyone always took those opportunities seriously and wrote essay-like evaluations. It was time consuming but now I actually miss those days.
