Performance Review Generator
The Performance Review Generator produces HR-approved performance reviews that technically contain words arranged in sentences while communicating absolutely nothing actionable. Rate your employee as 'rockstar', 'solid', 'developing', or 'not a culture fit' and receive a review that will leave them confused about where they stand. The API also tells you what the manager wanted to say, what the review actually says, and the probability of a PIP.
