In over 25 years of working, I've never had a useful performance review. If more people pushed back on them, perhaps it would stop.

Me neither, 27 years and counting.

It's not what's said either, it's the whole idea of someone turning my performance into a silly numbers game.

I'm pretty sure performance reviews were invented for much the same reasons as democracy; but instead of the illusion of a choice you get the illusion of progress.

My team has pretty much admitted to each other we're using AI to write reviews so we can get back to real work
