Oh boy, it’s corporate performance review time! This is one of my favorite periods – so much so that I feel like breaking out into song. To share the occasion, I propose a sing-along. So find a karaoke machine or stream up your favorite music channel and select the Andy Williams classic It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Lyrics (slightly revised) are given below:
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With accomplishments swelling
And everyone yelling about their careers
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With employees competing the staff level meeting
Erupts in a brawl
It's the hap-happiest season of all
There’ll be bragging and boasting
Key strengths diagnosing
Comparisons high to low
There’ll be whipping post stories
And tales that are gory from
Performance reviews long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
They’ll be much quid pro quoing
And all hope they’re plateauing over their peers
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be bragging and boasting
Harsh subjective roasting
Like a reality TV show
There’ll be whipping post stories
And tales that are gory from
Performance reviews long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
They’ll be much quid pro quoing
And everyone’s busily sharpening their spears
It's the most blunder filled time
It’s the knuckle under big time
It's the most wonderful time of the year
LOL A recent Facebook exchange with Dave led to the FB link to this site from your profile. Glad to see the creative juices are still flowing, and with you in a corporate job too!
