Performance reviews often feel like a joke when the feedback collected through 360-degree reviews is overridden by the lead, without adequately considering input from other internal and external team members. HR should be present in these discussions as a neutral party to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability. Assigning ratings based on tenure in a role rather than actual performance undermines the entire purpose of the review process. Such practices raise serious concerns about the fairness and integrity of the performance evaluation system.
