I did a 360 for staff only prior to an evaluation by council. The results were interpreted by the council that I was too friendly with staff when a rather affirmative positive report was shared. It was completed by a third party and was shared in executive session at my request. I was terminated "without cause" a week later.

Dear fellow city managers:

I am approaching my evaluation in October and the Mayor has decided to use
the 360 degree evaluation using surveymonkey.com. Apparently she enters all
the email addresses of the employees, council and planning commission and
they send out a questionnaire and they return it back to the Mayor with the
responses without giving names. I remember a discussion on the listserve a
while back about this topic but I wanted to respond to the Mayor in writing
as to why a 360 evaluation is a bad idea. Any input would be greatly
appreciated?

Thanks.
