Anyone else find these mid-year reviews a worthless waste of time.

You seriously don't know why your 20+ year co-worker was let go?
I don't need to know your coworker or anything else about him to solve this mystery for you. He was laid off due to age, salary OR BOTH.

The year end reviews ain’t so geltest either
I regurgitated all the bs that was in the how-to on filling in your review. After I submitted it my manager sent an email to the group saying "All you need is a couple of lines per topic. You don't have to write a book." Oops, too late!
The last person laid off in my group had been there longer than I, and no one could figure out why they got rid of him. However, last time we were complaining about filling in stupid reviews, he said he hardly ever put anything but the minimum in there. I have a feeling some HR drone noticed that and picked him out to be laid off. I can't think of anything else. He'd been at BNY at least 20 years and was good at his job.
It’s there way of saying - I don’t know what you do at your job so tell me do we can validate keeping you...
I remember getting a corp email 10+ years ago along the lines...
"You've asked for it and you've got it! From now on, performance reviews will be done electronically instead of over paper!"
I'm like... Really? that's what people asked for? Not higher pay, more vacation, better bonuses... but electronic performance review? Really!? 😂😂😂

Yeah takes away from watching the Olympics😎😎😎😎
I see fear as a tool being played again to keep the employees distracted In the name of pandemic and "unprecedented" times. No discussion on how the future is going to benefit us just a lame talk how we should be doing our work or you could be moved easily.These are just old tricks to keep the machine running in a factory so that it doesn't turn into Chernobyl.
