⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Impossibly perfect, can never be achieved

At least it's honest in how it utterly destroys the service being reviewed

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago

This style of star rating is so common but so unintuitive. Hate it.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 57 points 1 year ago

It's because it's devised by business school idiots who never had a course with something like a 47% class average that gets curved up.

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Damn, I've almost only had those :(

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Man I hate that shit, it's so nerve wracking

[-] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Love em - “you got a 49%, you pass!” “I straight up learned nothing and had the mental pressure of failing the entire time”

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

yeah one time i was extremely stressed out over having like a 61% and then my teacher hit me with the fact that i was the highest score out of all his classes that semester

i got so angry

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

I'd rather have a 54% treated as a B than a 4/5 ⭐ treated as a performance evaluation issue lol

The only time I've given less than a 5 star to a Lyft driver homeboy was driving like a maniac on i80 while talking to me about how excited he was to move to Clearwater and then answered a call from his girlfriend and had a very sexually explicit conversation with her.

I'd give six stars if I could, dudes rock

Life is short. Live fast die young, yolo, etc

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Yeah every worker I have to review gets 5 star rating unless they like, spit in my face idk

I also don't report mistakes or get refunds unless it's like, I paid and got close to nothing

[-] dannoffs@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 year ago

I undersold the "driving like a maniac" it was the least safe I've ever felt in an Lyft and I'd been in one with broken seatbelts lol.

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah for sure, id give a negative review for literally almost ending my life

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Next time threaten a 1 star review if they don't let you join in

This is how most companies take customer surveys, they just don’t say it openly, it’s incredibly stupid

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Someone would literally have to shoot me in the kneecap to make me leave a less than perfect review. You can't trick me in to giving management an excuse to fire someone. It's so frustrating. Just pitting the little people against each other.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It’s so stupid though because if I were developing a customer survey system, I would automatically throw out all-5-star reviews because they’re very clearly fake and/or worthless. Which makes lots of people think you have to throw in a couple 4 stars so it looks real.

[-] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

At one of my old jobs, the yearly review system for employees consisted of different categories like communication, finishing assigned tasks in time, etc. on a scale of 1 to 5.

Supervisors were forbidden from giving any worker a 5 in any category because "there's always room for improvement." I always thought it was horseshit because what's even the point of having a 5 in the first place?

That’s dumb as shit but is also how I internally think of rating things, on a 5 star scale a true 5 is basically unachievable, it’s kind of an asymptotic approach towards 5, but I round up and call it a 5 at a certain point because otherwise that’s just a 4 point scale

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Ah the ol IGN review rating metric.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eh, it's fine.
