Review Fatigue

In February of this year, my company launched the annual performance review cycle. I always hate doing that, but we do what we must, right? After the process was done, they let us know that due to the uncertain economy, there weren't going to be any raises or promotions "for now" and that sucked (the hope for a raise is most of my motivation for doing the review). But again, what can you do?

In July, they announced that there were going to be "mid-year check-ins," sort of a light version of the reviews, and we thought, hmm, maybe there will be raises now? Turned out, no. Okay then.

Then they announced that "this year," the annual performance review cycle was going to start in November and finish in January, instead of starting in February and dragging into April. So we are now starting our third review cycle in under a year.

Holy mama. I hated this once a year. Three times?


I swear, I look at the questions and my brain shuts down.
