Does this lead to performance improvement plan (PIP) and termination? Can severance be negotiated if terminated?
Always had Meets or Exceeds previously and was dinged ONCE after my Meets midyear review, which apparently lead to Inconsistently Meets.
Is this what WF is doing now???
How should I handle this? (other than trying to find job outside WF) I know there's no recourse w/HR.
@OP I got 2 IMs. Previous to that I had 10 years of a spotless performance reviews. I was terminated for failure to perform my duties last week. No PIP. No warning. No severance. If you feel you are being incorrectly rated - fight it.
I got Inconsistently Meets. What bonus can I expect ? Am I on the short list?
Hey, my manager felt compelled to give me an IM and a bad review the day before my last day at the toxic s&$thole called WF. She asked me if I disagreed and all I could muster was, “I don’t care!” So, so glad to be out of there.
I just got hit with the same rating of a 2 after receiving a promotion a year ago with a 30% raise. Fast forward to July, I was at a #3 or meets until my end year review yesterday as I was given a 2.
Overall as long as you were not a rate 1 you will not be a pip but start getting your stuff together to double check everything as you should be able to bounce back but take a slight hit on your bonus as I expect mine to be reduced about 20% because of this bs.
IM once does not = PIP.
Lol, no YOU cannot negotiate severance if you’re posting here. Those who can wouldn’t be posting here, ever.
One hiccup does equate to IM. If it’s prove-able then it’s real. Whether we like it or not the only question at that point is does that hiccup have to be leveraged as negative evidence or not to execute the managers overall plan.
They made some tech guy into my manager since he couldn't code worth sh...t. This guy hated me... and vice versa. I was tasked to upgrade an app he previously coded to .net core. The app was the worst piece of spaghetti I have ever seen. I had to extensively refactor it to meet the DI pattern of the new platform. Fortunately by the time the review came along this "developer turned manager was back to being a developer". But he still wrote the review. The new reviewer said I had a hard time talking to management. (no lie.. Hey boss your code is sh...t. ) I am too nice. I was quietly quitting all along so wasn't too upset. Got my severance parachute as I exited the Mario Kart tour game.
RIP
It was probably because they had to give someone else an exceeds and you were this year's sacrificial lamb
I got this rating last year, meets this year. You should be ok, my bonus wasn’t much different
it might just be that your manager had had to lower someone and because of your little hiccup that was you. doesn't mean a perf improvement plan and you still qualify for merit and bonus (if eligible) just not as much as if meets. if you go one rating lower than I would expect a pip and would also expect you would have had conversations about your performance prior to year end.
And you're a Shart stroker that he can't wait to use and then fire.
What was the reason for your inconsistently meets?
The whole idea of terminating employees is so they don't pay them severance.. Documenting what you do means nothing at all. You could be one or the highest performers in your group, me, get meets or higher the past 10 years, and you will still get canned, me. But I got severance.
Good luck
They are setting you up to get rid of you so they won't have to pay severance. So, in order to change course, you need to document constantly what you're doing to remedy the situation. Seek feedback from the manager(yes, it's painful). Keep your own detailed notes about what you're achieving. The main goal is to not be terminated without severence, or not be terminated at all.
you must be an FRTOer
