No idea what they do but I’m impressed.

Especially the 360 nonsense. Those are just stupid.

I do my job and don’t really care about how others unrelated to me do theirs.

My company has a little bit of the nonsense extras. In 35 years I’ve never used any of them

I was a first-level manager at one. One year, HR decided to have ALL managers in the Division stack-rank ALL first-line employees in the Division.

I told my VP “this is silly — I don’t know those people, don’t know what they do, and don’t know how they perform.” He replied you know more about them than you think you do. Give it a try.” I was amazed at how close all the managers’ stack-ranked reviews of all employees in the Division came out.

We used that stack-rank as serious input to getting rid of the bottom 10% to 15% of performers every year. That stack-rank process was actually far more effective than I expected.

A couple of companies did 360s and I thought those were a complete waste of time.
