Performance Reviews¶
Just like a real company, your AI employees go through performance evaluations that drive promotions, improvement plans, or termination.
Review Cycle¶
Performance reviews happen on a regular cadence:
- Quarterly scoring — Evaluate each employee's work quality, reliability, and growth
- Probation period — New hires go through an initial evaluation period
- Continuous feedback — 1-on-1 coaching sessions supplement formal reviews
Evaluation Criteria¶
Employees are evaluated on:
- Task completion quality — Did they deliver production-grade output?
- Reliability — Did they complete tasks on time without excessive failures?
- Collaboration — Did they work well in meetings and cross-functional tasks?
- Growth — Did they improve based on feedback and coaching?
Outcomes¶
Based on review results:
Promotion¶
High performers can be promoted:
- Increased responsibilities
- Access to more complex tasks
- Higher trust level in the organization
Performance Improvement Plan (PIP)¶
Underperformers get a structured improvement plan:
- Clear expectations and timeline
- Specific areas to improve
- Follow-up review to assess progress
Termination¶
Persistent underperformers can be fired:
- Graceful offboarding (not just
kill -9) - Active tasks are reassigned or closed
- Employee data is properly cleaned up
- The position opens for a new hire from the Talent Market
HR's Role¶
HR manages the review process:
- Tracks performance data across projects
- Conducts formal review sessions
- Recommends promotions, PIPs, or termination
- CEO gives final approval on all decisions
Why This Matters¶
Performance management is a key driver of organizational evolution. Poor performers get improved or replaced. Good performers get more responsibility. Over time, your AI company naturally converges on a high-performing team — without you having to micromanage every task.
