Feeling lucky

I agree with this. Identify and address issues as they happen, not every 6 months. Name and celebrate wins as they happen too. Have a voluntary process for promotions and such.

Title: Stop making me justify my paycheck.

Post content:

I don't want a yearly performance review. I don't want to spend two hours filling out a form about my "top accomplishments" like I forgot what I worked on all year. You saw the work. You paid me. That was the agreement.

I also don't want to invent five ways I should magically do more next year for the same money. If I mess up, tell me when it happens. If I'm doing fine, stop asking me to write essays about it.

Let me just enjoy the holidays and leave me be!

If you reach a goal by compromising your values, you haven’t succeeded. If you fall short of a goal by upholding your values, you haven’t failed. The highest form of accomplishment is standing by your principles when they’re tested.
