  Dancer's responses to Corporate Employee Performance Review Questionnaire: Communications Skills: Learned how to say, "suck and fuck" in Spanish; led to greater business during Cinco de Mayo and 16 de Septiembre. Leadership: First dancer to offer anal in the VIP. Trendsetter. Judgment: Told the bouncer I wouldn't blow him but I would rat him out to his wife if he asked again. Never bothered me again.

  Thanks for the comments. Performance reviews and goals summary: Basically you bust your butt all year doing what it takes to get your job done especially if your business picked up. This is typically not evaluated on your performance review. Your boss says it is just what is expected so they don't list that stuff as your goals and expectations. You can list it as other activities though. So your performance review is based on all the above and beyond your normal job and how well you performed on that. Then they assign extra stuff during the year. If you worked 24 hours a day, you might be able to get an exceeds level of performance. Then you would really be pissed off for not getting any pay increase. You'd also be dead without any sleep. Maybe that's not how everyone feels about it but it's the impression I get.

  The new motto is, "you should be happy you still have a job!"

  I do know of some clubs charging $1 per minute for lateness. Also some give performance reviews for having to sell a certain number of drinks per shift or else they will be charged for them.

  casualguy, there are likely some companies where the reviews are as you described on 9/29. Happily, my experiences have been more worker-friendly. Good recognition for jobs well done. Back when unemployment was so low it was considered "full employment" (a/k/a, the Bush years, before Pelosi and Reid took the reins of congress), one could just leave a company that treated him without proper respect. Now, however, your new motto ("be happy you still have a job") is apt. Real unemployment--factoring in those who need a job and were looking but have given up--is about 16.7% right now. And for recent graduates, unemployment is about 52%. As bad as it had been so far this year, just last month we lost another 570,000 jobs. Staggering. Yet even today the president is saying, "we put Americans back to work. ... I will not rest until every American who wants a job, has one." Sick.

  I may make it sound worse than it is. Doing performance reviews even for yourself seems like a full time job taking hours to do. At least I know what they are talking about though. I once worked at a small company and didn't have any input into the performance review. At one point I was pretty much the only one left in the department and moved into the managers office for a month or two so I didn't have to keep walking over there looking for files when someone from corporate called asking for information. I said I needed help. What did the management do? They hired a new boss to direct me around and tell me what a crummy job I was doing. I found a better job after that. Before I resigned, I played their game by appearing all around the shop so they could see me and it seemed like I was goofing off more wasting time but management thought I was doing a lot more work since they saw me. The new boss wasn't too bright. He thought if I wasn't seen in the manufacturing facility, I must not be doing too much work. Instead of working in the office, I walked around talking to people. My new boss said my performance vastly improved before I left. What an idiot I thought.

  Forgot to add, I heard within a few years after I left, I heard that the operations manager said he should have never let me go. That made me feel a little bit better. I knew the operations manager pretty good and the former plant manager but I wasn't impressed with the new department manager they got (to help me out). I learned to be careful what you ask for. The former plant manager was the one who first took me to strip clubs. He said he wanted to take me. I think he didn't want to go alone. I did like the second time he took me. He had one of our suppliers or vendors come along and pay our cover charges. The vendor even payed for some pizza we ordered from Domino's and it was delivered to the club and they brought it to our table. I never said anything bad to others at work about my new manager. Others kept telling me they didn't care for him too much. Compared to running a whole department by myself for very little pay for several months, several hours doing a performance review is a piece of cake. However it is sort of like doing taxes manually.
