Get ready for the “annual performance review,” carefully crafted by sickening management team to make you feel like you are on a reality show where the prize is getting fired.

F-c u CS!
shrugs I'm rated a 4+ every year. Never been close to getting fired and I probably do half as much as some of you try-hards.
Reviewshave no bearing on things and just satisfies protection for the company.
I learned that my stress over reviews went down dramatically when I stopped thinking the review was about me. It's not about me. The reviews are all made up now, and everyone needs to accept that reality. They are made up and have no bearing on your work effort or you as a person. They are just a tool in CS's layoff toolkit. If your review is satisfactory, you're not on the layoff list.
If your review is "inconsistently meets" or whatever they call it now, then look at what the severance package is worth based on your years of service and decide if you want to start looking for a new job now, or wait until your ticket gets punched.
But life is so much easier when you don't take the company seriously nor let them dictate your worth to you.
