To strike the right balance it is useful to think of the exit interview as a performance appraisal in reverse.

要想找到其中的平衡，将离职谈话视为一种反向绩效评估很有帮助。

That said, instead of trying to outdo ourselves, perhaps this year we might look past the spiffy new clothes, banquet-style menus and performance appraisals to really make time for loved ones and renew bonds with relatives.

话虽如此， 与其试图超越自己，也许今年我们可以看看漂亮的新衣服、宴会式菜单和绩效评估， 真正为所爱的人腾出时间， 与亲人重建联系。

And indeed, I think there's a reciprocal responsibility on the part of individual employees to participate in that, whether it be performance appraisal, feedback, other good things that we've talked about on Working It in the past.

事实上，我认为员工个人有责任参与其中，无论是绩效评估、反馈，还是我们过去在 Working It 上讨论过的其他好事。
