My Sales Mgr for a team of 8 reps asked each of us to complete our "self-appraisals" in our corporate system, then immediately put it into a Word doc and send  her our self appraisal. All of this has been last minute upon our Fiscal Year closing. One week later, we are having formal reviews where she rates us and writes a summary of our performance and delivers to us in a 1:1, which is in a few days. 
 
I feel uncomfortable and question the ethics of requiring each member of the Sales team to submit our personal evaluations to her ahead of a formal review and her comments. I have never experienced this before. My sense has always been that she is a disorganized manager but this is taking a step further by creating an opportunity to shape answers based on our submissions and her opinons. I fear going to HR or above, but in my heart believes this is an unethical practice and some type of breech, and at the very least, not a practice that builds trust. Any advice how to handle this? If this is a real no no, I want to be able to articulate properly and report. All advice would be appreciated.
