I debated whether to post or not, but my boss said it was the first time sitting through a calibration meeting. All the ratings were done the week before our year-end evaluations were done. What's the point of bragging on your accomplishments if they did the ratings before you submitted them.

I overheard my boss pushing back on demand to rank us literally just after we all had submitted the self-evaluations - saying it made no sense and he was unwilling to provide a ranking without time to read through and consider the self evaluations we were pushed to provide.
Your input isn’t going to do much. They already have an idea of your rating. Calibration (bs word) could knock you down
I’m planning exit after bonus assuming I even get one.
There’s no reason to ever do a self evaluation, after you just gave me my evaluation.
It is to get estimates for bonuses and severance pay outs. It all comes out of the LOB budget.
We are being forced to downgrade too, even when not warranted. Lawsuits to follow!
as long as I last to the 401k match day, that's all I care at this point.
They hold many calibration sessions and take the drafts back to SLT who say it's not good enough, you need to downgrade more people. Goal of course is so they can be targeted for PIPs, terminations, etc. and if that doesn't work, they'll be laid off. It's the WFC way.
Then they did it early for some reason because they aren’t done until the 20th.
Word!
