> Take a few minutes to conduct a 'performance review'

I have never seen a company implement a performance review:

  - That mattered
  - That would have detected anything
  - That would be more than the obvious

View on HN

I feel that most performance reviews I've had have been at least pretty decent. Basically just going through what I've done the past 6 month, talking about what I'd like to be working on over the next 6 month and if there's anything that I should work on or might need to help me manage to do those things better. Often there is some sort of checklist that has be worked through, but I always get a few minutes to just talk in general about my work.

that sounds like feedback you should be getting in manager 1:1s, the formal review process isn't necessary
