“The Office” Tackles Performance Reviews

Through the miracle of Tivo, I just caught "The Office" on NBC.  If you don’t watch it, you should – it’s a brilliant commentary on the nature of working for a company. Anyway, this episode found the good folks at Dunder Mifflin talking about performance reviews and I thought you might get a giggle out of this quote:

It’s Performance Review day, company wide. Last year, my performance review started with Michael asking me what my hopes and dreams were, and it ended with him telling me he could bench press 190 pounds. So, I don’t really know what to expect.

It’s that special time of year again, and everyone’s thinking about them. Or dreading them, as the case may be. Well, if you need a place to vent, you should take a look at worstreview.com, a contest we’re sponsoring to find the worst performance review story ever. Have a gander, tell a story, maybe even win a prize. It’ll be a hoot.
