Civil service promotions rely on supervisor ratings that lack adequate information

Evidence

Moses said that the first step had to be a reform of the city’s efficiency-rating system, the system of ratings given by supervisors to their subordinates to help determine whether to promote a civil service employee or give him a pay raise; under the present method, ratings didn’t give the Civil Service Commission enough information for a sound judgment. — Robert A. Caro, The Power Broker, 308
