If Annual Reviews Worked, We’d All Love Them
The "MMU"
Performance, Done Right
Everyone secretly dreads performance reviews--and for good reason!
Employees:
“Why am I only hearing this now?”
“That project was six months ago… why bring it up now?”
“I worked my ass off, and this is all I get?”
“I have no idea what my manager really thinks of me.”
“This feels more like judgment than support.”
“I guess I’ll just smile and nod so I can leave faster.”
“I want to grow… but I don’t know how.”
“Am I even doing a good job?”
Managers:
“I hate giving these. I don’t want to get it wrong.”
“How am I supposed to remember everything they did this year?”
"I do not have time to write all these right now!"
“I should’ve said something earlier… now it’s going to land weird.”
“I’m trying to be honest, but I don’t want to crush them.”
“We’re both uncomfortable, and no one’s learning anything.”
Leaders & Orgs:
“Why are we spending all this time if nothing changes?”
“This doesn’t feel connected to our goals at all.”
“We’re just going through the motions.”
"Work grinds to a halt during annual review time."
“People walk out of these more confused than when they walked in.”
"We keep calling it ‘feedback,’ but it’s mostly just formal CYA.”
“People just wait until we get to the salary raise part--ugh.”
Most organizations still rely on outdated annual performance reviews—rituals that are often stressful, unclear, and too little, too late. They leave employees in the dark, and managers dreading the calendar reminder.
Maybe you’ve tried quarterly check-ins, “stay interviews,” or more frequent touch bases. But without a solid structure or rhythm, those well-meaning efforts tend to fade—or worse, become another task to rush through.
What if you had a simple, proven process that built performance conversations around trust, not tension?
