Exactly. Everyone is being reviewed every day.

Totally agree. At least mine (this week) went good for me :jig:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

My employer's hyper-active HR department, minds stuck in the 1980's, requires quarterly reviews for everyone, from both exempt professionals and non-exempt employees.
There are no solutions, only trade-offs.

The answer to "Why" is so that HR Departments have an excuse for existing to the extent they are today. When HR depts first became a thing you only needed 1 maybe 2 people b/c all they did was take care of hiring/firing paperwork. In order to justify why an HR dept. like where I work consist of 10 women, it must have many more duties and responsibilities so the primarily female run HR :-\ Depts everywhere came up with new annoying means to justify their existence like these evaluations.

Here it's not middle management of even teh execs but the HR dept that is responsible for this unbelievably dumb reviews we have to do annually. Within the IT dept every employee (who still works here) always gets the exact same review and I can guarantee you both the employees filing out their part and their supervisor doing his spend as little effort as they can on these things.

I'm intrigued by why you feel it necessary to call out the gender preference in your particular HR department - sounds like a sexist jibe. How ironic on International Women's Day! Our primarily male HR department would have you on a disciplinary for that.

Really, So if I say that off shore drilling is primarily a male dominated space are you going to call that sexists or just factual? I mentioned it b/c it's factual and more importantly modern feminisms is destroying society via the destruction of healthy male/female relationships.

This thread is heading in a troubling direction. Disperse. Locked.
