Which do you prefer: Anonymous or open evaluations of work performance?

I agree on all three counts. To avoid a "free-for-all" and to promote some level of accountability on the part of evaluators, they must be willing to stand up to their assessments in a face-to-face encounter. This way, we hope constructive criticism prevails. More often than not, those who are just out to "destroy" others end up destroying themselves in the process, by creating an image of non-objectivity, spitefulness (if that becomes obvious), and all other negatives linked to failure to be "on the level".
