Exceeds expectations: you did your job and the jobs of the three people laid off in February.
Meets expectations: you did your job and quietly updated your resume.
Needs improvement: you asked why the team is smaller but the workload is bigger.
Does not meet: you badged out at 4:59.
@ge I've been here more than two decades. I've seen mediocrity win, so long as it plays politics. I've seen performers not be rewarded, and lackeys carried along despite doing absolutely nothing of value.
Your fiction of hard work paying off isn't fooling anyone.
@bx ridiculous post. Just d-mb
@bx that was the social contact for the longest time before, but now that is inconsistent across companies and managers. I would never ever recommend anyone go beyond their job description, and especially if it required giving extra time. If you can finish your normal duties early and have extra time on the clock, them maybe it's pursuable, but the best majority of people I've seen burn themselves out to try for a promotion and then get fu---d over far exceeds the success rate.
If it's not clearly outlined in writing on how to get promoted, then never assume you'll get it.
First of all, nod to OP for a little sarcasm in the morning. Secondly, above-meets performance is never about doing “more” or “raising issues”. It’s doing things outside your scope of work. Finding answers to go with the problems, and yes, being relatable to your boss and colleagues. I coach disgruntled young professionals who get a “3” and were expecting a “4” because they did 1.2x the average volume or production. The bar is not how much of something you did; it’s how well you did it and then stretched to new responsibilities.
Guy once told me “Do your next job now”. That’s how you get ahead at this company and any other.
Let's not shame those who get IM ratings. Inconsistently meets can happen if you had just one issue doing the year and your manager has to find someone to meet the bell curve of ratings distribution. Even if you recovered, learned from it, and grew from it. An IM rating can land on people who've mostly been doing a solid job and in past years would have been Meets
I’ve raised plenty of issues and never let go. To hr, to manager, to managers manager. No firing or downgraded rating.
Such haters. The people that exceed, push new adoptable initiatives that work for multiple groups, speak and impress bosses. Meets are you the grinders that do sh-t, get stuff done and call it a day. Doesn’t meet are the people that come up with excuses why stuff isnt done. Tell us why you aren’t a senior lead buddy, show us on the doll where you got hurt!
raise an issue = will be fired
its the wells way
