At work they started this Work/Job Performance Review track record.

They told us to sign it.
1. Is it our free will if we sign it?
2. Is there a law that we have to sign it?

One guy think this is their way to see if we are happy , who we are ratting out, who is kissing ass, what do we think of the company and if we are happy there.

3. Do you think everyone's believe is right?

4. Will they use this Performance Review to let us go?

Please tell me from experience and what you have seen, not believe.

Thanks guys.
 
Almost every place you work has performance reviews. It's used to gauge your performance and make sure the employer is getting his money's worth.

Even in this little world, there is the Reviews section.

U R workin' for da man!

This is normal in most organizations. Having you sign it is just evidence that you have seen it. It can be used to let you go if it contains a warning to alter your performance that you do not act on in a reasonable time period. It can also make it more difficult to fire you if you have consistently goods reviews and all of a sudden you get a new boss who is an ass and decides he/she wants you gone.
 
To the young folks here.
Screw as much as you can before you reach 26. Do the world with no mercy.

Your tag line suggests why you are worried about a performance review. It's about being open to constructive criticism and personal growth in a legitimate business environment.

I don't know about your business environment if they're starting them, but screw the world with no mercy, might not be the best attitude to approach this.
 
If this is a personal performance review... it is supposed to be about your performance and not the company's. Proper reviews should also provide an opportunity for the employee to provide their feedback in areas which will allow them to accomplish the goals mutually agreed to by the employee and/or the company.

While in the perfect world you should be allowed to voice your concerns... the reality is don't be stupid and tear the place to shreads unless you're planning on leaving anyways. Be constructive if you do write something and include some possible solutions to the problems.

While it is nice and fuzzy if the employee is involved in setting goals and agrees to the goals, it really isn't strictly necessary. The management of the company ultimately sets the goals and expectations. The employee needs to acknowledge them.

It's too bad you work for a shitty company... or should I say dictatorship.

No, I'm telling it straight, no bullshit. It is like this in every company I've ever worked for.

What do you think will happen if your management feels the goals you set for yourself are too easy? If you don't work for a company that sets you tougher goals in that circumstance, they're not doing their own job.
 
What is even more fun is "peer review". This is where you ask 5 of your peers what they think of you. Sometimes, it is your manager who picks the 5 peers (even more fun).

I agree with Train, by signing the document (or even disciplinary documents) only acknowledges that you have seen document. It in no way implies that you agree with its content. Calloway is giving sage advice, if you disagree with the contents then you should be inserting you "constructive" comments in a space provided. If there are no spaces available, then write them in and get your reviewer to sign it also. You use the same logic on them, they may not agree with the comments but they have seen them and acknowledge them.

I've seen some squirm and the looks on their faces.

Let me guess, you work in the public sector ?
 
Be a consultant. Haven't had to endure any review for last 12 years. Your review is do you get extended or not.

Just sign in, is it a review of you, your peers, your employment satisfaction... some information would help.

Who cares what one guy thinks, those guys are usually the guys they want to let go.

Could we get this one in English?

How are you doing at your job, how is the company doing? This will answer this question.

Our company has a very robust performance management process, we go through the process annually, look at performance trends, measure success and areas that require improvement. For Sr. Managers we do 360 degree reviews (talk to their boss, the people they manage, their peers, people who support them)......

You can't manage what you can't measure.

If you disagree with your performance review... state your objections/concerns on your performance review.
If they say screw off... do you really want to work for these people?
