Mercy reviews

Annual merit-based raises are determined by coworker evaluations. Each employee receives an email with the names of 3 coworkers to give their unfiltered thoughts on. Most coworkers view this system as unfair and opt not to respond to the emails. However, some coworkers fill out the evaluations and can write whatever they want about said coworker. In my experience coworkers use the evals to write negative, biased feedback and this is how managers and supervisors determine your merit-based raise. Conflicts among coworkers are mismanaged. Coworkers will tattle on each other and often times the manager or house supervisor will individually confront the employee that was tattled on. Then there’s no repair of the relationship between the two coworkers in conflict. It also rewards coworkers not handling the conflict directly like mature adults.
