“Performance reviews are just annual gaslighting sessions that serve no purpose”

- Managers use them to justify predetermined raise amounts
- Real feedback should happen continuously not annually
- Vague criticism is impossible to act on usefully
- They exist to protect companies from lawsuits
Disagree
- Structured feedback helps employees grow and improve
- Documentation matters for promotions and career planning
- Annual reviews force necessary difficult conversations
- Bad reviews don't mean the system is broken
