When performance is measured against curated feed of perfection
Have you been to a performance review that inevitably ends up comparing you to popular Joe, charismatic Jackie or high performing Jack? Most formal performance reviews have sections where employees are compared sideways against peers within and outside their departments. Definition of a “peer” here is largely determined by a line manager who is assumed to have the power of veto to be able to understand the term, its correct application and most importantly the ramifications of its misuse. The review fails to appreciate that the line manager is just another fallible human being with no previous “human psychology” training.

The Centaur of the Centaur

In other words, the 150 of them are the reason why the country is getting poorer not the government itself that runs policies and administers the states that see poor stay poor.

The Unspoken Truth About Job Interviews
Hiring Manager: “I can be somewhat narcissistic, but it's a trait that has contributed to the success in my current position. I tend to criticize others and shift blame for circumstances beyond their control. I often enlist HR's help to attribute my shortcomings to my subordinates”

The Theory of "Relativity"
I am with my friend from UK. As a recent migrant he copped firsthand the wrong end of the Australian traffic management stick. He lost 12 points of the 13 available in one day. He simply did not realize we had a thing called "double demerits" that we could switch on and off when it suited us, and that traffic signs were subject to change.
