The chief people officer of Yahoo says the company ditched formal performance reviews because it created unwanted 'emotive moments'
Briefly

"There's this huge sense of anticipation that ends in deflation... Most folks are not getting what they want... we took away those two big emotive moments, and instead we've gone to continuous check-ins."
"Nobody should have a surprise at the end of the year... It's troublesome when somebody's being told they're not performing at the end of the year, and they haven't heard that throughout the year."
