Performance Review Farce - Senior Associate Mercer Employee Review

The company has a rigid and comprehensive performance review program that is totally thrown in the garbage when it comes to my group executing it. The company program is designed to be fair and to reward quality work but my group refuses to discuss goals during performance review time and instead reads reviews from 20 or more co-workers who anonymously list their gripes about you. It is more like Jr High cliques where the popular, liked people get ahead. It is appalling and I am one of the popular, liked people!
