Neither in writing. 30-day review, I walked on water. 90-day review, I couldn't even swim. When I asked for a written version of the humiliating encounter, my boss came back 2 weeks later with a generic job description. Having been an employer, I knew what a review should and shouldn't be and was insulted. Whew...you hit a sore spot with this post. As for relationships, the success of the "review" would depend, as Julie aptly notes, on the communication between the parties. As for me, I usually end up doing exit interviews...Mary Frances Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05487593284800783899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843414525694557803.post-38332330792605282152014-01-18T14:04:26.538-05:002014-01-18T14:04:26.538-05:00I'm laughing at the imagined response of my hu...I'm laughing at the imagined response of my husband if I proposed bi-annual marriage performance reviews. But I do believe that communication is the key to relationships - work and otherwise. So if it would help couples to put this on the calendar twice a year, why not? Thought I might change the name from "performance review" to "state of the marriage." Any other ideas for what we could call it?Julie Owsik Ackermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11583691214627281052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843414525694557803.post-58720261515942345332014-01-16T06:12:11.920-05:002014-01-16T06:12:11.920-05:00Carol, I think maybe yes, that not giving feedback...Carol, I think maybe yes, that not giving feedback can be lethal to marriages.

I wonder if that stat holds true in marriages, too? carolCarol Fragale Brillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02832865888789761328noreply@blogger.com
