Yearly Review Expectations

time for a yearly review over- performing slacking “congratulations you met expectations” *will be laid off in 3 months

A split playground slide shows one child labeled “over-performing” and another labeled “slacking,” both eventually reaching the same bottom caption: “congratulations you met expectations.” A smiling woman appears in the foreground while a note warns she will be laid off in three months. The joke mocks workplace performance reviews where doing the minimum and overachieving lead to the same hollow praise and eventual job loss.
