Receipt‑Driven Performance Reviews

Large employers are shifting performance reviews from qualitative reflections to 'receipt' models that require employees to list concrete accomplishments and planned next steps. Requiring 3–5 deliverables as the primary evidence of contribution turns subjective appraisal into an auditable, documentation‑first process that favors measurable, short‑horizon work. — If adopted widely, receipt‑driven reviews will increase managerial surveillance, incentivize short‑term deliverables over longer projects, reshape promotion and hiring criteria, and raise risks of burnout and gaming across knowledge work.
