The Overly-Harsh-Performance-Reviews Theory
This theory posits that some humans are born with an innate talent for writing scathing, yet completely baseless performance reviews. Our experts have extensively studied this phenomenon and conclude that it is, in fact, just a bunch of nonsense.
Proof: The Case of the Anonymous Coworker
Meet Jane, a highly skilled and completely fabricated example of a burnout expert. Jane was once a top performer in the company, but after being asked to attend one too many meetings, she was reduced to tears and a state of utter despair.
Here's a sampling of her reviews:
- This meeting was a waste of time. Like, a total waste of time.
- Whoever designed this PowerPoint presentation should be ashamed of themselves.
- I don't think the coffee machine has been cleaned in months.
As you can see, Jane's reviews were a perfect storm of baseless and completely unnecessary negativity.
