> "We're going to make PSC less onerous and stressful by only doing it once a year!"

There's something interesting going on here. I agree that people will probably perceive annual PSC as less stressful than semiannual PSC. But even there, some people might not.

And there is a point where more frequent is very clearly less stressful. If you did PSC once a week, it wouldn't be cause for stress, it would just be something you did every week.

What about, you know... _zero_ "PSC"? Sounds like the type of shit a company does when it builds a culture of mistrusting its own employees.

No performance reviews, ever?

That’s de facto my situation.

After copy-and-pasting the same answers year after year in the self evaluation form, my manager got the message. That was, what, 10 years ago?

Now, once per year, we have a 20min meeting, he tells me “good job”, gives my new salary and RSUs, and we’re good.

It’s great.

Have you really never had a job where your boss simply evaluated your performance as needed rather than on some schedule like it's a mundane march towards death for the rest of your career?
