For or against the performance review?

Samuel A. Culbert had a provocative article in the the October 20th edition of the Wall Street Journal, titled very simply: "Get Rid of the Perfomance Review!" Read it and decide if you are for or against the performance review.

You can find the article here:
Get Rid of the Performance Review!
Here is how it begins:

"You can call me 'dense,' you can call me 'iconoclastic,' but I see nothing constructive about an annual pay and performance review. It's a mainstream practice that has baffled me for years.
To my way of thinking, a one-side-accountable, boss-administered review is little more than a dysfunctional pretense. It's a negative to corporate performance, an obstacle to straight-talk relationships, and a prime cause of low morale at work. Even the mere knowledge that such an event will take place damages daily communications and teamwork."
