Short answer, Yes.

That is why KPIs are important.

My immediate ex-boss hates me, always say why I do things in xyz manner, how come never consider abc... it never ends.

His boss, my ex-chairman, loves me. Cos I am always best 1-2 in KPIs where RESULTS not chemistry matters.

Evidence-based. KPIs is one source of evidence.

Poor performers usually leave a whole trail for their bosses -- eg, violation of HR policy such as late-coming, unprofessional behavior, missing during meetings, etc. Usually when these happens, we counsel, then document in email sent to the staff. During appraisal, all these are surfaced and attached as evidence.

Performance appraisal is also normed against other members of the team. You can be good but other people can be better.

As long as your boss is human and there is this assessment criteria called potential, it is always subjective.

"Potential" is based on your boss's imagination on what he or she think you can do in future.

Simi kpi? If the top boss' son screws up, the son will still become the top boss. Hard truth.
