What anonymous posters said
Several posts describe the away rotation as largely shadowing-based with limited chances to present, and multiple posters mention that letters of recommendation are not provided to rotators. Some commenters raised concerns about mentorship and support within the department, while others referenced a leadership transition and an internal review tied to resident survey feedback. A few posts also noted lower-than-expected match numbers in a recent cycle.

Is the few minutes where you go up on stage and say where you matched more important than where you will spend the next few years
people go on stage to say where they matched? mine just gives you the envelope and then you just open in a large room with everyone else and their family. kinda messed up to put people on the stage

Is this WashU / Dartmouth? WashU's match stage event be so crazy each year. And they make a video out of it every year. Some of the people opening their envelopes genuinely seemed sad. Dartmouth's match is fun though - I think you get to play your own boss song as you walk down the aisle? I may be misremembering though.
