It’s that time of the year when employees fill in self-reviews, and managers evaluate their performances by conducting one-on-one sessions. Amidst all the seriousness surrounding the process, digital content creator Aiyyo Shraddha has taken to Instagram to bring some humour to the situation. In her latest video, she poses as a manager and offers a hilarious take on the process in her own signature style. Expectedly, the video has sparked chatter online, with many saying that it was ‘bang on’.
“Underrated….but know that the company really appreciates your efforts,” wrote Shraddha Jain while sharing a video on Instagram. In the video, the comedian makes fun of the strategic company off-site, scheduled just before the review process, and quips about the performance rating system where most people opt for the ‘meets expectations’ category. Shraddha even suggests the need for a new GPS tracking system for goals.
“Our goals are especially so agile, so dynamic. Even before we have started moving towards our goals, our goals have moved all over the place. They are everywhere. The world needs a new GPS tracking system for goals. Goal Positioning System and sometimes we cannot move even though we can see the goals clearly in front of our eyes,” she said.
She further suggests turning performance reviews into a game to keep people engaged. She even proposes that with a golden buzzer and a host, the review sessions can be turned into a reality show called ‘Employees Got Talent’.
