Every employee dreads it. Every manager interprets it differently. And HR? They design the process.
In this episode of Corporate Elements, Robbie and Johnny sit down with HR professional Dimple and a seasoned manager Jess to decode the machinery behind performance reviews — the systems that claim to measure growth, fairness, and merit, but often reveal much more about culture and power.
Together, they explore:
- How performance reviews evolved from annual rituals to continuous feedback loops
- Why ratings and percentage hikes can feel arbitrary
- The quiet influence of favoritism, burnout, and corporate politics
- Whether transparency is possible—or just a corporate illusion
The episode doesn’t promise answers so much as it captures the tension: the whispered suspicions of favoritism, the sting of a downgraded rating after twelve months of verbal praise, and the shadow of PIPs—Performance Improvement Plans—that may signal support or a quiet exit strategy.
If you’ve ever left a review meeting thinking, “Was that really about me or about the system?” — this one’s for you.
