I'm unclear if this replaces in any way their existing (annual?) performance review process. Employees do request immediate feedback: it's a major "best practice" and a very common performance improvement area. Now, usually this takes the form of just talking to your direct reports when you see them do something good or bad. I haven't seen an institutionalized IT system that would do this, nor that those micro-interactions would somehow "add up" to a full performance appraisal. So this seems to add more friction to giving feedback: never a good thing. And refer also to the whole Amazon "Anytime Feedback" peer feedback tool that turned into political posturing and back-stabbing. http://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-employees-reportedly-slam-each-other-through-this-internal-review-tool-2015-8 http://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-employees-reportedly-s...
