Things literally change day to day , the stuff I put in mid year is already outdated.
Do I just su-k up to the right people?

So if we got meeting expectations in mid year, does that mean we are safe for year end?
Ignore the a--clowns on here. We get the same doom/gloom/noise every time (look back a year, two years, it's all the same). This is likely your manager hedging their bets on end of year reviews. While the mid year review on paper has no meaningful impact on comp or merit, at the end of the year, staying flat (meeting expectations at mid year, meeting expectations at end of year) looks better than declining (above expectations at the mid, meeting at the end of year). Likely we'll have to do some more bullsh-t around a percentage at 105% or higher of bonus, and a (larger) percentage at 95% or below, and ensuring that the employee performance mirrors this is important for staying off the HR radar
Do you have po-p on your nose and is your butt sore ? If so, then you are 'meeting expectations' . . . for now . . . until they want to replace you with cheap foreign labor.
It means you won’t get laid off. They are laying off the high and low performers. Just keep your mouth shut about this and don’t ask questions. It’s your boss’s way of protecting you. Be sure to agree and be nice to your boss and you will be fine.
If you have to ask, OP, then you will never meet expectations. Sorry but it is true…
It means meeting expectations
Just showing up at work will do.
Why don't you try getting stuff done ahead of time. Solving problems before your boss even has to ask and helping others?
Finally, you got it.
"meeting expectations" is a behavior definition, but not a rating/performance category for mid-year assessment. Where are you seeing this feedback?
