If only it was the other kind of PCP
Instead, it’s the Performance Communication Program:
Performance communication discussion, self-assessment, supervisor’s performance communication discussion outline, accomplishments for the last six months, goals and objectives for the next six months, performance standards, job description.
To be followed, as soon as is practicable, by liberal amounts of Jack Daniels.
Repeat in six months.

My deepest, deepest sympathies.
I once had a job that required me to document — handwritten documentation — the fact that I had worked. Additionally, we had weekly meetings in which we spent hours reporting what we had been doing. (Had to also listen to what others had been doing.) On top of that, the telephone records showed the places we called (calls were part of the job) and the computers followed our keystrokes. But not enough! Handwritten reports were also essential.
I spent about a third of my time documenting the fact that I had worked.
Now I’m observed once a year and self-assess (admittedly, it takes 15 plus pages of prose) once a year. What an odd contrast there.
Again, my sympathies.
