Summary of Why Performance Appraisals are Bad 





Performance rating systems are not objective. One manager’s idea of creativity can be different from another managers. Appraisals are supposed to show employees what they need to change to be more productive. Rating systems simply apply a number on a scale of 1(unsatisfactory) to 5(satisfactory). These systems do not tell the employee specifically how they need to improve. If employees score bad on an appraisal, they are less likely to listen to their boss, and they may argue that the boss does not like them.
