How is it possible that the performance of a person who has been doing sloppy work for months and who has literally done bare minimum, is rated much better than the performance of a person who is doing triple workloads?
What is the message for all hard workers?
I'm sick of this company and everything that's going on here.

work smart not hard
Re: @axsg+1dyRytXh
True, a lot of whinging about performance reviews should be taken with a grain of salt. A lot of people, particularly poor performers, have an inflated view of themselves (cf. the Dunning-Kruger effect). It doesn't mean, however, that those comments don't have a basis in reality.
Those comments could be indicative of any of a number of factors:
- the review process is indeed unfair
- there are other factors unknown to the one making the comment
- the manager did a poor job of communicating expectations to the employee
- etc.
I work hard and was rated much worse than the other person who is doing sloppy work is almost always judged from “I” perspective and very rarely objective. Should you move your a** and work harder instead so you will get better perf rating next time?
This was the first very large corp I had worked at and I found it bizarre. Frequent management turnover at all levels, many hmm... d-mber than nails managers, a undecipherable rating system (per OP), no cohesion or communication between biz units, frequent waves of layoffs (some attempted to be hidden), frequent off-shoring of operations, no identity ('tech company' or 'travel company' or '???'), etc, etc.
Bizarre because Sabre had so much to work with. Some solid products, many dedicated employees, a couple handfuls of exceptional employees, many SMEs, data since the freakin' 1960s to work with! Cards played well and this could be a very winning hand, cards played badly and you're acquiring cr-p companies, selling off good products, offshoring at long term expense, and canning your best and most productive employees. Bizarre. Or maybe, being having been new to a giant corp, I just didn't understand the motivations of the decision makers.
Maybe your skillset or the work that you do is not considered strategic. Does this mean anything? Another way of saying that the elite does not like you? Every second sentence coming from an executive starts with " strategic"...
If the VP and above would only focus on their work, tactical or strategic.
Its sabre... what do you expect?... VP+ is locked down with retention and fear they cant work any where else and everyone else should suck it up or move on... its the best economy in 50 years for job seekers... vote with your feet as someone in the Csuite always says
who's getting ratings yet? reviews aren't until Jan/Feb.
