Ouch. About 10 years ago here the HR department thought it would be a good idea for the employees to rate the ‘team’ ‘leaders’ and ‘managers’ it was endorsed by our executives. We were even told we could replace our team leaders if we decided to do it as a team. It was a hilarious failure. The employees were brutally honest as opposed to previous organizational evaluations using the number scan sheets. More than a few team leaders were on the hot seat and in a face saving attempt by the upper management, they were moved elsewhere.
Next year and all of the following year we had various flavors of organizational evaluations, but no more ratings of team leaders and managers… As Ginger said “The annual review process is a formality and the raises are usually pre-determined.” and as far as I was able to figure out there were no repercussions.
I don’t believe I work for a typical organization, but figured I’d share the story. Maybe you guys will enjoy this interview with the honest boss, http://www.hallmark.com/wcsstore/HallmarkStore/images/products/ecards/nfg1969.swf
