Podcast: Why Performance Reviews Are Broken

And How They Gotta Be Done Better

This is a fantasy edition of the Mode/Switch Pod. We do some utopian dreaming about quite possibly the least dreamy part of American workplace culture: the performance review.

After talking about what’s wrong with the review process, we dream up new ways to give and receive workplace feedback.

For those of you new to the Mode/Switch, this edition is our regular Friday podcast. Look for the newsletter on Tuesday coming up!
