Had a female employee break down and start crying in my office in the middle of her annual performance review today.

Came home my insurance renewal was waiting for me. Monthly premium increased by $50.

How was your Friday?

Only 50 a month increase? Consider that a win Flexo...
I'd rather take an ass beating than give or receive "annual performance review" so sucks to be you.

I figure every year I go without a ticket and as the cars get older it should go down?

Logic; not even once....

Annual performance reviews were one of the worst things about managing people. I had the following...

Employee feels he deserves a raise because he and wife keep making babies but his performance has been stagnant at best.

Employee starts crying in the review claiming her husband doesn’t appreciate her.

Employee says he is worth much more than we are paying him. I asked what barometer he was using and he said he just knew he was worth more. I suggested that if that was true he should be exploring new opportunities. Five years later he is still in the same job even though I retired over two years ago.

Yep, among other things.

But she was crying by her second '2' rating.

Samsung QLED 70R 65” HDR. We have had good luck with the Sammys. Two smaller ones in bedrooms have been quite reliable.

Good choice. We recently replaced our old plasma with a Samsung QLED 80R 65”.

We don't bother with that nonsense. If you suck, you get fired.
