360s are a pox. Turns reviews into popularity contests.

Not to say soft skills aren't important, in fact I'd say they're a crucial skill, possibly more important than anything else in general.

As for PIPs, I've only ever seen them used as a way to get rid of someone rather than lay them off (I've been in enterprise IT since mid-90's).

In theory they're a good idea, but so easily misused.
