Who gets rewarded with OwD? Is it just for Hippos and Managers? Do ICs get this regularly? What’s the reward per CL?

I performed at OWD level and my department manager told me my performance was at that level but said that rating was not available to me and that I received the highest rating available. He said my best hope to get a higher rating was if fewer people were in my group the next year that were not chosen for advancement to senior management.
3 OWD out of 7 Assessments. IC. Not a Hipo.
I was told by my manager that OWD was exclusively for Sponsored HiPos, unless a VP chose a worker bee to receive this due to a particular event such as saving a project from disaster and earning an extra bonus for the VP.
@qs are you the poster minority (attractive and smart enough and active in extracurriculars)? That role pays a lot and is rewarded for sure.
I received it three times in technical IC roles in manufacturing.
It isn’t a big deal. And some rank groups take it as a badge of honor to not give it to as many people as they could.
If you aren’t a hipo even being OWD won’t make you one.
I have seen several non-hipos and individual contributors get OwD. You get extra stock shares when you get the distinction.
What I’ve seen is folks living off their past or allowed to
Live off their past. To many friends. CX is a good example
@OP who gives AF about those bootlickers
I can tell you that the OwDs in HR and total hippos!
