That's a little overboard and Chris McKinney's post, Getting Rid of Performance Reviews at HR Lawyer's Blog, actually has some helpful ideas for making them better.

Performance appraisals has always been one of my hot buttons, second only to job descriptions. About the latter my standard comment is -- if they are up to date and complete, they are excellent -- however, that does not describe any job descriptions I have ever seen.
