Please share the name of your company if they use a performance review system with forced "bell curve" distribution, or prescribed quotas for below strong rating levels. Why does this matter? "Curve-based employee rankings mean even good workers can end up ranking in the bottom tier, which can adversely affect their pay and employment prospects at the company." - Business Insider List Updated on Oct 10, 2021: - Amazon - Capital One - Coupang - Expedia - Facebook (?) - Microsoft (?) - Uber - Walmart - Wayfair
Doesn’t C1 have stack rank?
Yes we qualify under the criteria, unfortunately. Trying to understand who else does it What does Facebook do?
I don’t think FB has stack rank. You set a goal and if you fail to meet your goals, you get MM. Two MMs in a row and you’re out. This isn’t always the case though and can vary by team
Uber Facebook Amazon Though not quite “PIP”, it’s more of a pre-PIP if you’re in the bottom bucket.
Yeah still counts. We don't have targets for PIP either but there are targets for underperforming percentages that are expected to be met Thanks for sharing
Facebook does not have PIP, its only blind lies.
Expedia
Wayfair. They don't say that they stack rank, but my Sr. Manager kept telling me "we stack rank, we just don't call it that."
No culling necessary. Criteria is that there is prescribed quota for how many people to put in the "below strong" buckets. If you are prescribed such number then the company goes on this list, if not - it doesn't. Amazon puts 10% on such list. Therefore it qualifies There are plenty of companies that don't prescribe a quota
FB has rating distributions targets at an org level (150+). Though not really done at a team level, when calibrations roll up the chain, borderline people will get moved up and down to meet the distribution. 10 - 15% are targeted for Meets Most (MM). Two in a row automatically prompts some conversations between HR and your manager about your future at the company.
Thanks. That sounds like a situation that meets the definition in the OP
FB is not forced curve. You are not forced to give MM just to meet targets or comparing with others. MM is if they fail to meet their own commitments. So its not bell curve or forced. So it doesnt meet the criteria. (I know because we take this seriously, nobody is moved to MM to meet targets)
Walmart and Expedia do pip?
The is not about pip
Okay. Op I think think companies have stack ranking in that respect
Microsoft Amazon Walmart
Wait what? Microsoft famously walked away from it. It was major news story years ago
and you trusted that?
