Had a new manager drop me from my ranking when I have objective evidence that I had an excellent year and should’ve been in the top placement. When I asked him about why I was dropped, I got no concrete feedback. Has anyone ever been able to fight a ranking that is less than you deserved? What came out of it?

@av+1k14maj8g I’m not sure what decade you are talking about, but we don’t do “RG Points” anymore nor have we done so since 2019. I call total bogus on your post.
Everybody is thinking the same thing. So at the end of the day, it's just eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Only think you can do is to pray to the ranking gods you don't fall off the barrel.
No nobody else ever received a lower ranking than what they thought they deserved.
Management lies, 08801 totally corrupt here
@OP based on this post you’re a dump phyuck and deserve to be PIPd
OP:
Wow
Are you autistic?
No one. Only you.
@av+1. You just put a new meaning to brownie points.
OP, since you are obviously not even capable of differentiating between an absolute and a relative assessment, I believe you are not able to compete at EM
Actually not a fair system. I was in the ranking meetings and had 2 people that landed exactly next to each other. An experienced hire and a minority. Everyone in the room agreed there was a measurable difference between their performance and the experience hire clearly was the better performer. Rank session ended with those two in their agreed order, the experienced hire above the minority.
When the final RG numbers were posted for communication, the minority was 29 RG points higher than the experienced hire.
I contacted HR about this obvious error. An H.R. manager came to my office and explained that after the ranking session, HR did a distribution assessment and due to the number of previous year high ranking persons in that demographic that had transferred out to other affiliates, persons of that demographic had to be moved upward significantly to meet the “target distribution”.
That person was wrongly given an elevated ranking that in no way was related to his performance. It was so wrong that it seemed illegal to rank someone based on their demographic, up or down, that it should not be a consideration. The H.R. rep that came to explain this to me hinted that EM had a legal requirement to meet target distributions. Someone explain how the government can require false ranking distributions based on demographics.
I had to communicate that false ranking, and that arrogant id--t thought he deserved it. If anyone deserved more points, it was the experienced hire that outperformed him so measurably.
This is not just about the id--t being ranked above the experienced hire that was directly above him on the list, that is just how I know the exact bonus points he was given because both were communicated to me on the system. By being gifted a total of 29 points, he was officially ranked above around 35 people that everyone in the rank group agreed outperformed him.
You are assuming your rankings are a reflection of your job performance.
It’s not. It is a popularity contest and a way for XOM to boot older employees out the door.
No...it is a fair system when you average in results over a 3 year cycle and assuming you had 2 different supervisors and at least 1 different manager. You earned your ranking because others were fairly ranked also and they simply out performed you. If you are not growing in competence, then you are "walking backwards." your ranking depends on significant personal growth and improvement in producttivy (wood in the wood pile." If you are doing the same as last year then you will drop 10% a year was PIP of lower performers or as lower performer quit because of no pay raises. PIP system is designed to remove bottom 10% over 3 years or force out NRE.
And some get ranked far higher than they deserve. A department manager once told me that high ranking was related to a person’s ultimate potential rather than any performance during that assessment period.
I asked one manager how BW (a well known id--t) could be ranked at the top instead of NSI. and the manager told me that BW was the easiest person he ever had to rank, no thought involved, just obey the instructions in that executive’s phone call.
Sometimes its obvious like when your peers sleep on the job. High performers always watch netflix on their phones while working. The highest performers relative you are the a kiss ers. I have been purposely dropped because I did not bow to the bosses. My contributions did not matter as they dinged me for too much courage of conviction. The a hole re d necker who shouted during meeting was applauded for their courage of conviction.
Sure. Who hasn’t been ranked lower than they think they deserve or not been promoted when they think they deserve it. You will have many more disappointments. The only way to fight the ranking result is to resign.
How would you know where you were when compared relative to a large group of peers that you likely don't know?
Lol welcome to EM
