The annual performance evaluation process is an annual nightmare for employees and bosses. As employees, we know when “evaluation season” comes each year, and we dread it. We wonder what little things we did and don't remember will be dredged up. As bosses, we have several employees to evaluate using a form that we likely had no voice in creating. We likely didn't get any training on how to fill out the form, on what we should focus on, or why. We are given a rating scheme that we have to complete to tell employees if everything they did in the last year was up to par or not. It is not a joyous season for anyone.
