#56 Your Performance Review Is Basically a Horoscope

from The Funny Podcast

😂 "Exceeds expectations" in one box, "needs development" in the next, and a rating scale that somehow makes everyone a three. Emteaz sits down with performance management researcher and stand-up comic Gabriela Santoro-Lindqvist to unpack the strange, funny, and occasionally painful ritual of the annual review, from the self-assessment nobody can write to the calibration meeting nobody sees. 📋 It matters because reviews decide raises, promotions, and how you're remembered, yet almost no one is taught how they really work. You'll laugh, feel less alone, and pick up real tactics for writing your self-review and steering the outcome. 🎧 Press play before you rate yourself "meets expectations" out of pure fear. #TheFunnyPodcast #PerformanceReview #CareerGrowth #CareerComedy #WorkHumor
