Actually, I'd prefer sitting down with your supervisor at ranking time, your supervisor pulling out a single five-sided dice, giving you a quick glance in the eye, taking a deep breath, and rolling:
1- top quintile and earning a second roll to determine distinction: even number on the second roll earns distinction
2- second quintile: your hard work was recognized this year
3- middle quintile: good, other people had really good years
4- fourth quintile: unlucky, lets think about how we can better showcase your strengths next year
5- bottom quintile earning a second roll to determine NSI or PIP: management determines if its an even or odd number on the second roll gets you PIP'd/NSI'd
There was an employee in New Jersey (Clinton) that copied his/her PDS from the previous year for 10+ years. It took management ten years to notice that his PDS was the same from year to year.
Your fate is already pre-determined regardless of what you write on the PDS.
They made me complete a PDS the year I retired which I though was d-mb. I just copied the previous years PDS, changing only the date and adding a statement that I was retiring. No one said a thing.
Your manager will be required to complete your PDS.
What are the actual repurcussions of not submitting a PDS?
Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.
By all means don’t forget your cover sheet…
Don’t mess with my stapler or I will burn the place down.
Your time would be better spent rolling dice.
