@lcamtuf “ no other topic caused as much cynicism and angst as the question of performance management” - yes hello, it is me, the reorg, and I would like a word please.
@lcamtuf we do this at Dropbox, I spend a couple days every year writing about 15 or so reviews. thus far I haven’t been convinced that this is better in any way than normal manager driven performance reviews.
@lcamtuf “As a manager, in every other 1:1, you hear your subordinates comparing themselves to others and demanding explanations for any perceived slights.”
@lcamtuf OH: "The kicker is that the internal perception of this Google-originating process isn’t necessarily any better than that of what it sought to replace. At a great organizational cost, it merely traded the accusations of manager-level favoritism for grander conspiracy theories — sinister corporate agendas divined from the words of secretive, amorphous committees"
@lcamtuf I do still feel like it's the least bad bad idea. The only thing better, if indeed hell is other people, might be to retire and go live in the woods.
