Samuel Culbert writes that companies should do away with regularly scheduled performance reviews because they are "fraudulent" and reinforce an employee's feelings of being dominated.
Samuel Culbert writes that it’s time for companies to do away with performance reviews. “Everybody does it, and almost everyone who’s evaluated hates it. It’s a pretentious, bogus practice that produces absolutely nothing that any thinking executive should call a corporate plus.” It’s not that managers shouldn’t be reviewing performance, he writes, but regularly scheduled reviews are “fraudulent” and reinforce an employee’s feelings of being dominated.
