Appraisals, performance and poachers-turning-gamekeepers

"Not just irrational but stupid, not just punishing but brutal." We take a long cold look at the 5 evils of performance management and appraisal, dissect Accenture's attempt to redefine employee relations and relive the pre-digital analogue days when national union officals wrote the annual reports of lay reps, the lay reps who "crossed the floor" into management HR roles and worse.....hear how the world didn't collapse and having a known quantity in the employer's dugout proved useful!

Dedicated to former colleagues Malcolm Crapper and Mick Teece.  RIP both.
