I wonder what DW and TG put in their PDS since they are reporting to each other :p
One of my friends submit empty PDS form without any KOs nomination. Her supervisor basically just made up her achievement during PDS and she still not assigned to NI/NSI. Too bad because she is looking for PIL
The hunger games thanks you for volunteering to be PIP’d as tribute.
Yes, just another "study" to justify what has already been decided.
And you assum the process has integrity and that your PDS is actually read and your contributions and accomplishments understood by your incompetant manager? You are delusional. The die is cast well in advance. The process is a sham.

Exactly, there is absolutely no reason for forced ranking. When I try to explain how ridiculous this system is, I use a bowling example. If you have 4 bowlers that roll a 300, 299, 298, and 297, are you really going to put that 297 in the NSI bucket? The rebuttal to this has always been, well we need the rankings if we have a layoff. Well, that went completely out the window during the layoffs because they used an outsized "cultural fit" component that saw people from the "very good" bucket cut over people lower ranked.
Glad you are volunteering For the bottom of the list - welcome to NSI
Let's all turn in the same PDS and see if they notice.
Ranking so corrupt in Annandale, if your RE beware.
@gvf+1e2YZr7X - performance assessment is needed but not the forced ranking where it demotivate higher % of your workforce...plus it has to be done correctly in order to make forced ranking achieve it goals...the issue here is that most of supervisors/managers are not properly trained for that and do it as "check box" exercise once a year...performance issue should be address when it happens, but most of the time you'll see that supervisors/managers are not addressing it - either because they are "peers" or they are just simply lazy...
At least you have a PDS and openly rank people. I quit and went to Microsoft where they “stopped” doing forced ranking and PDS like documents. In reality everyone knows that they basically rank everyone unofficially, and arbitrarily, and then give out raises based on that. Without your boss or HR having any documents explaining what you did to deserve it all while claiming it’s solely based on how you did not on how you did compared to your peers. I’d rather XOM openly admiring to doing this than MS where they lie about it.
Prisoners dilemma experiment in real time
You definitely will be in bottom 8% if you submit an empty PDS..do you think your supervisor/manager care? They are even glad to have someone like you...easy job for them to determine who will be at the bottom...
OP, what a great idea! Please let us know how long it takes before you get axed.
Yeah the other strikes work well at EM. We need better coordination and a lot more effective way to stick it to EM than this
