Performance reviews are just employers controlling the narrative when employees are underpaid

Right?
If you underperform, brutal negotiations ensue … prove your value or the deal is off.

Buuut, if you’re overperforming, you get gold stickers and praise, and the possibility of a pay bump through a process controlled by the employer …

instead of you telling the employer that *they* have to prove their value or the deal is off.

Instead over performing then becomes the expectation.

@workreform @maegul I've heard of that, but I keep wondering why you hire the bottom 20% in the first place. There is plenty of research - not the "this is how we interview/hire" blog posts that people read - on how to interview an hire. If you follow those you won't get most of the bottom 20% in the first place.

If we hire 10 people, 2 will be in the bottom 20%, even if they are meeting their responsibilities.
