Hey, #writers! MIDLVLMAG is opening for subs tomorrow (Jan. 4). Send in your poetry, fiction, or CNF on the theme Reverse Evaluation.

If you could just go ahead and tell your boss where they can put that TPS report, that'd be great. Thanks in advance.

MIDLVLMAG issue no. 8 theme - Reverse Evaluation.

Reverse Evaluation is, on its most basic level, when employees have the opportunity to review the performance of their supervisors, managers etc. That only begins to scratch the surface...

MIDLVLMAG issue no. 8 theme - Reverse Evaluation.

Reverse Evaluation is a reckoning, a reverie, a clarion call. Authority is tenuous at best, its control contingent on our willingness to cower and prostrate. There is strength in unity, hope for the hopeless, power for the powerless.
