No matter what business you’re in or what position you hold, there’s one guarantee.
Everyone hates annual reviews.
Big companies hate them because reviews are a potential point of conflict that mean stacks of paperwork and missed hours of production.
Small companies hate them because reviews destroy the idea that everyone is just one big happy team.
Managers hate reviews because they don’t want to appear like Big Brother breathing down the worker bees’ necks.
And employees hate them because they never know what’s coming--a raise or a reprimand.
