Performance Review

A number of television shows have built episode plots around work-related performance appraisals. In The Office, Michael Scott flubs the process in the episode "Performance Review" (Season 2, Episode 8). An even more irreverent use of performance evaluations can be seen in the episode "The Gang Dances Their A$$es Off" (Season 3, Episode 15). In this episodes, Frank decides that the bar needs to be more business-like and decides to implement a performance review system. He uses a ranking system for the bar's five employees, ordering them from best to worst. Of course, he gives the top position to himself. During the rest of the episode, the gang vies to crawl up the ladder.
