My work's brought in a Competency Development Framework for our annual performance reviews and it is the biggest piece of bullshit I've ever seen. Instead of just looking at whether I'm good in my role and picking out some development ideas I instead have to grade myself against 7 separate attitudes like 'working collaboratively' or 'delivering capability' on a scale of 1-3 in a structure where the desired traits are often exactly the same across different grades then justify exactly why I picked those grades. It's such a load of horseshit, gently caress HR departments into the ground. Just inventing insane levels of bureaucracy because they need to feel like they're doing something

Why was it a reasonable course of action? Russia was corrupt and we knew it, Russia had a horrible record on human rights and we knew it. Seems like you just have accepted the media whitewashing of the policy. A lot of the stuff the libs handwave away as "nobody knew better" nowadays about these things in the 90s and 00s weren't all uncritically accepted and uncontroversial at the time.

Russia's president literally sent tanks in to shell the equivalent of the House of Commons because the leftists won an election, and this was in 1993 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Russian_constitutional_crisis

We knew it was a shitshow back then. It was the End of History though so nobody (important) cared. And now we have Putin.

Every single medium to large employer has poo poo like this, and it drives me insane. If you're lucky, your manager views it as the pointless box ticking exercise that it is, and you can get it over and done with in a half hour meeting.

If your boss is an idiot, however...

My company has one of these - it's to deny people promotions without being accused of constructive dismissal or whatever. If you don't max out every metric or have participated in every single hypothetical kind of business activity listed on the Big Spreadsheet then they can point to Cell J14 and go "mmm sorry no raise for you this year, you're not sufficiently experienced in turboencabulation".

I just applied to my boss's boss for a promotion instead and got it.

Also, :thermidor: to all HR and middle management, now and forever

Honestly just write down why you're good at your role and tick the appropriate box, it's doubtful anyone is going to look at it very closely anyway.

My place has one of these except it asks for quarterly scores from 1-4 in 4-5 different topics each under 7 different headings and plots them all out into a radar chart.

It’s not even an HR thing, it’s just my (otherwise great) boss having a serious data fetish because we work in a data field.

Have the same poo poo to deal with, I posted about this in the Work Thread in GBS, so this may sound familiar.
These are just for the company to get excuses to not pay you by getting you to grade yourself. And getting it with data they don't have.
If you put a 1 or 2 in a subjective cant be counted area, then they can just go 'Ah well seeing your not a team player, cant give you much of a rise this year!'
The best way to counter these is just say you are brilliant at everything and give yourself 3 in everything.
That way when they question you, you can just go 'I think I'm doing brilliantly, can you show me how Im not'. And then they have to work.

Doesn't matter in the end really though, they will pay you whatever they want to give you. This is just frilling around the donkey punch result.

I've had precisely one annual review in my 10 or so years working where I work, like many things my employer does it seems like someone had An Idea and then never touched it again.

He apparently claimed in another interview that he was out the country on 'Parliamentary business', which considering he wasn't a minister or anything but an MP, I wonder what issues the constituents of Ashfield have in Uruguay.
