It’s Monday. It’s annual review day.

Me pretending I don’t suddenly need to change careers and move to a lighthouse. If they have good coffee..why not? 👀

Every year I always get that tiny knot in my stomach.

Even though I show up.

Even though I work hard.

Even though I care and like my job.

Why do we doubt ourselves on days meant to reflect our effort?

In my experience it is because of the randomness. In every org I have worked we got the same training of constant interaction...praise, assistance, should be no surprises, ideal is reviews from above and below, etc.

Yet in every instance, it was a dreaded poorly organized affair with little value that did most of the "dont do this" items in the trainings.
