Performance reviews are just employers controlling the narrative when employees are underpaid
Right?
If you underperform, brutal negotiations ensue … prove your value or the deal is off.
Buuut, if you’re overperforming, you get gold stickers and praise, and the possibility of a pay bump through a process controlled by the employer …
instead of you telling the employer that *they* have to prove their value or the deal is off.
Instead over performing then becomes the expectation.

@workreform @maegul It is really hard to objectively rate people. On an assembly line if you keep up with the line you are as good as everyone else, if you hold the line back are you worse or does the line need redesign? If you are an engineer it can be years before we discover how many mistakes you made. If you are a salesman did you miss your numbers because the economy is bad or because you are bad?
