It's performance review season and I dread it, deeply, to my core. It's not that I'm against the concept. I just hate it. My goals are always attainable and I often smash them. It's the process itself of focusing attention on self-analysis, reflection, "journaling," that I dislike. Just review me, give me my raise and let me get back to work. I know I am good at what I do and I'm working hard. You know I'm working hard. This just feels like filing taxes.
