My supervisor asked my team to force rank our team including identify who should be NSI, NI, etc. She said she would use it as input like KO feedback. Good or bad idea? I bet everyone on the team puts themself as Outstanding.

@obw - only about 1/3rd of the 73% are wrong. If the remaining 50% also drive fewer miles (or "high risk" miles) than the 50% who are below average, then that would go a long way to explaining the 90% "human error" statistic.
@2uuq+1g4F4UQ3 Is the best. Even has time to post complaints about their supervisor on this site. Total winner.
@2uuq+1g4F4UQ3 Says the person posting on an anonymous layoff site. Why is it so bad to post good things about where you work? If you hate it so much go work somewhere you like and feel good about!
My supervisor is the best. Even has time to post in LinkedIn about our exploration success in South America.
Total winner.
HR approved this? Not likely.
Also, KO feedback does not count for anything anyway.
Good idea if there re people in her team that wants the PIP and then PIL, but we all know it doesn’t work out that way. I’ve found that putting in long hours to get your work done and go above and beyond for the company does not matter. There will always be something wrong with how you performed. You didn’t network enough, you did not do enough high profile projects, you were too involved in other department’s responsibilities.
I ended up just doing my work and go home at a reasonable hour and actually got the same ranking as prior years. It is all a stupid game and I’ve chosen not to participate in it anymore. I had never felt so apathetic about what I was doing. Leave if you can, this company is destroying you for a cent or two to the earnings per share. Good luck to you all.

@wuh+1g4F4UQ3 My supervisor works 12 hour days, logs in on weekends, and eats lunch at her desk. To the naysayers she also does actual work. Most executives work crazy hours.
Whether you like it or not, the Pareto Principle (another name for the 80/20 rule) is at work within the EM workforce. Therefore, as few as 20 percent of employees are driving about 80 percent of productivity and success.
Sorry boys and girls. We aren’t going to give a trophy out to everyone in this game.
People tend to overestimate their own abilities and contributions at work. Just like everything else in life such as driving.
Despite the fact that more than 90% of crashes involve human error, three-quarters (73 percent) of US drivers consider themselves better-than-average drivers. Men, in particular, are confident in their driving skills with 8 in 10 considering their driving skills better than average.
AAA released a study showing that 8 of 10 men think they're above-average drivers.
