Refer to Case Study :
Minimizing Biases in Performance Evaluation at Expert Engineering, Inc. it states that under various engineer titles, veteran engineer demetri worked for expert engineering inc. for almost 15 years. The firm's performance evaluation history is both unique and long. He has recently been promoted to the postion of principle at the engineering firm. All principles are involved in evaluating engineers because the founders of the firm believed in multiple source evaluation and feedback to prevent favoritism and promote a merit based culture . At the same time, the firm has a long history of using quality performance appraisal forms and review meeting to better ensure accurate performance evaluation. Several months ago, however the firm initiated a big hiring initiative of a dozen new engineers, nine of whom turned out to be graduates from Purdue university, which is the same university from which demetri graduated. Indeed , demetri was active in moving forward the hiring initiatives. There is tension and discontent among the other principles, who fear that a time of unchecked favoritism, baised performance rating and unfair promotion decisions is on the rise.
