Performance Review questions

I agree both with Chad's assertion that we should care about the happiness of ourselves and our teammates, but I also agree with Gabe's point that word "happy" specifically is very person-specific and a very in-the-moment thing, rather than a long term goal we can coordinate with our coworkers.

I think things like job satisfaction, meaningfulness of job and work, productivity per person, achievement of professional goals, etc -- those are things I'd be receptive to feedback from coworkers on.

If someone hands me a lollipop might make me happy ... but that's not really a super meaningful metric.  It will fade 10 minutes from now.

What about wording like "How can this person be more productive and impactful in their job?"

I also like Josh's "...improve in next quarter" idea.

I also think we're overthinking the word "happy", even though I just did it.
