The personal development plan is weighted to eliminate employees. The plan is used as a Las Vegas slot machine “the house always wins”. There are more hidden tricks in the fine print to slip you up by the discretion of the manager. It is used as an obedience and punishment tool. One example: If you do not predict you will be walking a blind person across the road as a gesture of kind you will not receive credit for it. This logic dictates, do not perform more than what is asked. It is also a full time job filling it out and allows the manager to mess up your scoring at review time. If you dare attempt to gain credit on an idea you presented but was already stolen by the manager, your on the shit list for torment with persistent and recurrent distress. There is no HR oversight but HR is not looking out for your best interest anyways.

The PDP is a JOKE
Everyone at the bank is assigned some type of PDP!! Everyone should keep an eye on your PDP and they might attempt to bring in Corp Security to find some type of violation you do not know about. The corporate rules verse department rules verse employee handbook rules contradict themselves creating a breech in contract at anytime they wish to use there hidden ace card on you. Others have confirmed they will threaten you at anytime they feel like it when you ask questions. The PDP software is not regulated by HR. The PDP software is owned and regulated by each department. Managers can also approve or manipulate your PDP plan without your consent at anytime. There is no need to confirm your PDP, the manager will do this at the due date but it looks better if they force you to agree with the layout and terms (The devil is always in the details).
Very true. Folks on the mortgage side watch your back. It's coming.
If you are put on PDP that's your signal to start looking for a job
