Proposal: Performance Review

Unpopular at 2-9. Failed by Brendan.

Adminned at 18 Jan 2022 04:41:22 UTC

In “Orientation” after

Weekdays are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. A Weekday Action is a daily action which may only be performed on a weekday.

add

Weekends Saturday and Sunday. A Weekend Action is a weekly action which may only be performed on a weekend

Add a new dynastic rule called “Performance Reviews” and give it the following text

As a Weekend Action, the CEO should make a story post to the blog evaluating each Employee’s performance over the past week. Employees should be evaluated on the following criteria

* Dedication - How many Weekday Actions they performed during the past week. More actions are considered better.
* Value - How much the CEO feels the Weekday Actions an employee performed during the past week contributed to the overall value of the company. Higher value is considered better
* Loyalty - How does the CEO feel the employees overall actions during the past week reflected on the health of the company. More positive reflections are considered better

Using said criteria, the CEO should give each Employee a Performance Rating between 1 and 5, with a 1 being given to Employees who got a poor evaluation and a 5 being given to Employees who got an exemplary evaluation and 2-4 being used as appropriate in-betweens

The performance review story post must include each Employee’s Performance Rating for that week

“Weekends Saturday and Sunday. A Weekday Action is a weekly action which may only be performed on a weekend”

I think that should be ‘weekends are Saturday and Sunday’? And I assume that this is intending to define Weekend Actions rather than re-defining Weekday actions?

Probably a redcross from me, as I’m not keen on this being semi-subjective on the part of the Emperor, possibly in part due to the lack of an Imperial Style statement. We used subjective Imperial player rankings as a mechanic in 192 and it was a bit of a flop, though.

I’m not against Imperial player rankings necessarily, but having to take a weekday action every day is pretty explicitly grindy.

It still says “Weekends Saturday and Sunday”; I assume that’s a typo that can be corrected later but sentences do need verbs.

It does sound daunting for me to have to rank all 15+ employees on each of these qualities every week. Some kind of employee-of-the-week system might be better.

I was thinking the same thing Josh.

@Brendan in the words of the great One Hundred and Eighty Second Blink, “Work sucks, I know”

normally grinds like this are not good for a dynasty but embracing the pains of monotony and bureaucracy seem like one of the selling points of this dynasty

against It being a grinding mechanic that’s generally bad for the dynasty, but that fits the theme, is not winning me over.

against  With this system I don’t see myself being able to keep track of all the weekday actions of every employee in every dept to fairly rank them, unless they’re logged somewhere
