Are your performance reviews legitimate, or are they tools of deceit? This episode digs deep into the dangerous world of performance defamation in the workplace. We examine the alarming trend where employers, motivated by profit and legal strategies, resort to crafting false narratives about employee performance, especially targeting those who dare to speak up. You'll hear about truth decay—a phenomenon that enables opinions to masquerade as facts—making it difficult for employees to trust their evaluations or their employers. 

Through compelling stories and expert insights, we’ll unravel the cycle of manipulation in workplace assessments, showcasing how even high-performing employees can suddenly find themselves unjustly labeled as incompetent. Additionally, we discuss the disingenuous Performance Improvement Plan process, a technique employers often abuse to push out workers while masking their motives. 

Join us for insights that shed light on the core issues affecting our identities tied to meaningful work. We challenge listeners to question their evaluations and advocate for a workplace that values truth and fairness. Don't forget to subscribe, share, and leave a review!
