Employees are rated like Uber drivers – 5 stars is good, 4 stars neutral, anything else is bad.
But the companies forbid giving 5-star reviews.
If they didn’t, they’d have to admit their expectations are too high for the pay they are offering. Exceeding expectations is the expectation and therefore you cannot exceed expectations. And since you aren’t exceeding expectations, minimum or no raise for you.
Yeah. I thought this was the norm, so I don’t know why this is news. At my company everyone is a 3 or 4. A 5 literally means you’re going to be promoted to the next level. There’s absolutely no other way to get a 5 and promotions are obviously rare.
Same here. When I was a manager I had to give most people a 3 regardless of higher performance. We only got (1) 4 for my team of eight people. No 5 was allowed. This rating determines bonus and raises. Rate everyone for their individual performance my ass. I rotated the 4 around every year. It was a fucking joke.

It’s one thing to suspect this is being done deliberately, it’s another thing to have written evidence.
