Ah... I'd heard of the 80-20 rule, but not this. Thanks!

The last place I worked tried to do 360 reviews one year (I think that’s what they were called). They stopped doing them after 2 years. Apparently the admins got upset that they weren’t getting glowing reviews and stopped it, rather than actually try to do a better job. Meanwhile, we were still expected to do well on our performance reviews even though they cut all raises due to budget cuts.

One of the more interesting things about his 'Frankenstein' is in how he did the 'birth' of the creature/ monster.

He build the final version, then burned/ melted it and filmed that process. In the film, he just ran the footage of it melting in reverse, so it looks like it's building. If you look at the film itself, you can see that the fire is also going in 'reverse.' It's really neat.
