It goes deeper than just the evaluation system. It's that Amazon is the definition of "process over people". To the point where the people are seen as fungible, interchangeable, and easily replaced.

The evaluation system is just the logical outcome of the much deeper culture that drives the company.

The evaluation system does not exist on it's own. People run and maintain that system even it it appears as a naturalistic set of immutable rules to most subject to it without being able to influence a change.
