Wondering how to ace your performance review?

First, remember that not everything in life is testing your ambition. Even for women who want more out of corporate America, performance reviews are basically a pulse-check: are you alive? Are you doing your job?

Report on what you’ve done, give your manager what they need to submit a glowing review to HR, and set some 90-day goals. Above all: don’t overthink it.

Welcome to Ask Your Work Wife, a new podcast where Vanessa & Holland answer your real questions about real work in corporate America. Covering topics from quitting to interviewing to negotiating to resumes and meetings. It’s about knowing the rules of the game so you can get what you want.
