Performance review...

Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter

What a performance review is?

Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

4 simple words: SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

I don't understand the concept. If your performance isn't up to par, why should you wait 'til a yearly review to bring it up.

Sander Rossel

True, and I don't. I'm guessing it'll be something like "you write good code, but we'd appreciate it if you came to the office a little earlier." And then we'll talk about my salary. So I'll mostly be defending why my salary should be higher than that of our king :D

That might turn into a discussion on whether the King is worthy of a salary at all. :)

Do you have any metrics that you were suppose to meet? Is the company in good shape financially? If not then you maybe in for a surprise when they tell you how you haven't performed up to the expected level. Do you put your 50 hours a week in for the man? No, Then your not taking your work seriously. Is this the first performance review? A guy I worked with had all the work he did documented and would bring in a stack of paper. In the end its just a job.
