Manager reviews are due at 11:59 pm tonight. Due to all the org changes in my department, I only have one review to do this cycle. One of my two employees left the company, and all the new hires are too new to require reviews. I only had to complete one review, and that person is my direct report in name only; he does work for several other managers.
I have always hated doing reviews ever since becoming a manager with direct reports. I typically speak to all my staff each day, since my team has always been small, so everyone already knows what I think of their skills and performance. Each time I have to write a review, I feel like I am updating their resume. In addition, my manager always handles raises, bonuses, and promotions by himself. I have not had any compensation input regarding my staff for the 20+ years I have worked for him.

I was also “given” my staff’s rating before I wrote the review, this making this review process an even greater exercise in futility. Anyway, I did get it done and submitted so I am good until next year.
