I'm told that, with the "new" evaluation system, nobody can rank well the first review, because everyone must show growth, and nobody is always on top. So the first one is full of criticism, and the final less so, whether or not you really do anything differently. It's all about making sure that the authority gets to pick nits.

Even more, I love the "merit pay" scheme, where bonuses are dependent on the evaluation process, and, in order to score well enough for a bonus, you have to shut up, get in line, and act like all the "innovations" that restrict effectiveness and add more duties to the same work day are exciting and wonderful.
