    B) Inflationary pressures

    Explanation:

    When HR evaluate the employees' performance they might have a tendency to be "nice" with the employees and be less rigorous with the evaluations. Many times the negative factors will be downweighted and the evaluations will be upgraded. The problem with this nice person approach is that a lot of people will get very high evaluations and comparing them may lead to problems. For example, if everyone is considered a good or excellent employee, how do you know who will be promoted or who can be fired.
