Annual Review
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A formal yearly evaluation of an employee's work, growth, and impact, often tied to compensation, promotion, or development planning. In tech culture annual reviews are often discussed alongside calibration, bias, and whether once-a-year feedback is too blunt.
In plain English: A yearly performance review at work.
Example: "He kept a running brag document because relying on memory during the annual review usually meant underreporting what had actually been shipped."
