Today I got my yearly review from work. My manager spent time reading off quotes from others. After I hopped off I was in tears.

The reviews weren’t mean. Instead they were encouraging, friendly, and inspiring. They turned a previously traumatic experience into something amazing that I will never forget.

We often don’t see how we impact people beyond our work. Sincere compliments can have a profound impact on others. Give them out when you can. Definitely give them out during year end reviews.

@Taniwha those complements are so important ❤️

I've never gotten any during a review, but I hope to get some someday, or be able to share things others have said to people 🥰

@hazelweakly I wish companies would take external reviews. I would totally say good things about everyone who has meaningfully contributed to hachyderm or aurae.

@Taniwha @hazelweakly I was a consultant in a team of 5 where 3 of us were consultants and we weren't allowed to contribute to the performance review so the 2 FTEs basically had one person review them

@Paxxi @Taniwha wow that's terrible. I can't imagine that went well for anyone involved

@hazelweakly @Taniwha I don't really know how it went, nobody was fired but it don't know how it affected their yearly raises

@Paxxi @hazelweakly that’s rough. I hope that their manager fought for them.
