Evaluation is nowadays at the core of contemporary management practices. Most workers comply about it but paradoxically those methods do not stop developing. The thesis presented here is that the workers are not only subjected to evaluation but that they are favourable to its development, they also ask for, because being evaluated is an illusive way of attempting to solve problems each of us faces when we work and which pertain to what we do, to our relationship to ourselves and others. We will show that contemporary evaluation systems, by undermi ning the symbolic dimension of organizations, lead the person who works, put in conditions that make his/her subjectivation difficult, to paradoxically ask for more evaluation, which in turns undermines the symbolic system – a vicious circle.
