Could we get an consensus about what the 1st time getting an Inconsistently Meets rating may mean in this new world (basically run by former JPM people)? In my case I feel like it was to bring down my comp to save money and annoy me enough to move on since my comp is pretty good. Could it just be a pure blip and since I'm doing well again w/ metrics, could I go right back to Meets/Exceeds? Even if I crush it for awhile though I still have to build back the hit to my bonus so they got me :(

This year they moved me to a new team. I have been on some solo projects for the last 5 years with a great manager. He left and I got transferred to a new team and a new manager. This year I got my first IM after 15 years. The reason is "I have a difficult time communicating with others". WTF.
What is the action plan for me to get this off my record? Is this the new manager giving me the finger?
I see the writing on the wall. Fortunately, I have been upskilling myself... I have been networking and getting certified in business analysis. I just found this board and have gotten good advice from it.
Yeah, it’s totally fu---d up like I’ve been here for 20 years and I’ve had stellar reviews and now I am not getting them. People say oh it’s because you have a new manager but fu-k off if you don’t see me for who I am and what I’ve done for this bank for these many years, you fk off!
It’s so weird they tried to test me so badly with my age and my surgery and I fking did everything I could to do it.
I had some team members falling off that said how are you keeping your job and I’m like I’m just learning coding on YouTube. They got booted. I’m still here but getting treated very badly.
I got hired back in 2008 after getting laid off after I contacted HR after somebody threw a chair across the room and I said I felt unsafe.
So here I am at age that is older, even though I’ve pledged my life to this bank and they don’t give a FK about me.
Had to have surgery and never had a great rating after that.
I almost died. They don’t care.
Never had a bad rating in 28 years and now this, I’m just trying to process it🤦🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️
No, it’s ageism! I’ve had so many jobs in this bank. I’ve done jobs where I was actually making sure the CEO was great with metrics, now I’m just getting fkd!
I get no bonus I get no raise and I’ve been here 28 years. It’s totally incredulous.
Hey guys, Ageism is real! 54
My manager flat out told me I got an IM because I get paid more than the others on my team. So, this was a way to start to even out the compensation, I guess. He did not agree with the rating and said it came from above him and there was nothing he could do. He was quite upset about it.
Normally managers are pressured by human resources to focus on imperfections and not actually give their subordinates anything above a meets. This year was especially heavy with HR'S influence on this requirement.
However managers in general focus on the friendship Factor, a lot of the managers that are here don't care about how outstanding of an employee you are it's more about how you make other people feel, do you address people by their pronouns, do you make your emails three paragraphs in length focusing on their sensitive well-being or focusing on their feelings, etc.
A lot of managers that are fulfilling positions here at the bank are all about saying yes and never know and furthermore want people happy it's not about solving problems it's about people's happiness and if you get one person to say something bad about you then you're going to get a negative review.. think of it like high School, you're trying to get voted as the most popular kid for prom.. basically this is what you are required to do.
For the inconsistently meets basically means they're not going to give you a pay increase and you may get lucky if you get some kind of bonus.
Don't take the inconsistently for face value it is very likely that your manager either has something against you and wanted to Target you or is making you as a sacrificial lamb for something else we have a lot of shady managers here who have been drinking the Kool-Aid that they grew up with here at Wells Fargo and they themselves don't want to leave so they just keep on making the same problems they want to go back to the time when they were in the early twenties and their boss would come over and have dinner at their house and much more because it's not about work to them it's about friends hanging out with friends.
This is that Boomer mindset you have to wrap your head around basically going to binge watch of AMC's mad Men to get an idea of this.
Five downvotes for this. Unreal.
Love the last tool that posted. Yeah you’re real special, even if you got an Exceeds you tool. You are one of the ridiculous and pathetic people that will run this company into the ground, you id--t.
Sounds like you're just an underachiever all around. Nothing wrong with that. Just wish everyone wouldn't come in here saying "I was IM but I'm the best on my team and always the best everything" and on and on as if that's believable.
and I thought what they did to me was bad.... Now not only age, but where you worked at matters.
Looks like the new season of hunger games has begun....
I usually get exceeds. It’s not hard many actually come into the office and not cause issues. Actually do my job. If I got an inconsistently meets I would really show them what that is and use my energy to find another job.
Managers have to rate on a bell curve. My manager told me this is fact, so don’t let leaders gaslight you into thinking otherwise. He had to rate a certain number of people on our team below meets when no one deserved it, and those had their bonus revoked.
P5 ..3rd year for me..zero bonus, zero meets..in jeopardy of formal action. First year bonus cut in half, usual merit 1.5% because I always get cheated, next year bonus cut, merit 1%, then zero this yr. Plus found out Im lowest paid. Which not surprised when see P4 postings on this site paid more than me. Metrics were manipulated and created only for me. Fighting it gets no where. HR refers to Sr Leader. Sr Leader approved it and stand behind it with lies. Gaslighted with mid-year meets. It used to never happen. Its the current OC that is driving out age, experience and Legacy employees. Mgrs in middle just the muscle who only care about themselves and their friends who stroke their ego. OP.. did you get a new boss? If so, that is the reason. Anytime you are lifted and shifted you are at risk unless you are a bootlicker by nature.
fight!
Totally agree with the 1st response. I believe that is all it is and I am still well thought of and they want me to stay, etc. or they could have really taken me out if they wanted, but it is annoying because I believe favorites are chosen and given the most opportunity and those that are not favored by the manager have to work twice as hard and are usually actually better than the favorite.
Most of the time it's just the musical chairs of ratings. They need to give so many on a particular team. If they want to give someone an exceeds, they need to give someone else and inconsistently meets and so forth. Next year, could be someone else's turn.
But then, some people think they are better than they actually are
