360-degree feedback

Description

360-degree feedback is a spectacle in which managers, subordinates, peers, and even office plants evaluate each other in a grand display. Participants, eager to protect their own positions, launch ruthless comments from behind the mask of anonymity. Beneath the system’s beautified guise lies a harmony of shirking responsibility and plunging productivity. Evaluation sheets transform overnight into scars on the heart, with improvement points reproducing infinitely. Ultimately, it is nothing more than an extravagant ritual in which no one takes responsibility and no one is saved.
