Show Notes

She received her annual performance review in a meeting where her manager described each criticism as the product of a year of careful observation. When she downloaded her copy, the document metadata showed a creation date eleven days before the meeting. This episode examines what a predetermined performance review reveals about corporate power, why HR is not the first move in this situation, the cognitive cost of building a case while maintaining professional performance, and what it means to stay in a company that demonstrated it will do this.
