How Amazon rates employees...
Amazon expanded the "HV" rating with "HV1," "HV2," and "HV3" to add depth to each evaluation. Top tier (TT), highly valued (HV), and least effective (LE). An internal Amazon document said: “We expect 20% of Amazonians are TT," 15% are HV3 (the highest of the HV ratings), 25% are HV2, 35% are HV1, and 5% are LE.” Is this a fair system? Will Amazon change? What say y’all? https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-employees-annual-reviews-rating-2021-4 #tech #amazon #amazonaws

I wish to one day live in a world where stack ranking and forced quotas are considered so backwards that no one dares to use them.
I mean they are considered backwards alright. Cults don't care
To Amazon, employees are just another optimization problem. And no they aren’t optimizing for your benefit. 😉
Do the other FAANGMULAs so something similar?
Google has something similar. S = superb SEE = strongly exceed expectations. EE = exceeds expectation CME = constantly meets expectations NI = Needs improvement
But do they fire the lowest performing?
Eventually. Yes. But it's not like NI means you are fired like amazon. Google does give you an opportunity to bounce back. And you usually get full support during that opportunity. If you still suck then you are shown the door. People also know that they would have no problems finding another job coming from Google. So sometimes they don't take NI too seriously.
What does 'that works for Amazon' even mean? Would it not work at, say, Facebook?
I’m 100% sure Bezo’s left eye can control your mind whilst the right eye can see your remaining lifespan.
I think the biggest issue is that in a typical year, only the bottom 5%/LE should be pip targeted but people who are HV1 and some HV2 are by definition below the bar for their level. You end up with 35%-60% who might possibly think they're in LE danger. I think most HV3 and TT feel safe. But like , your bottom 10, or maybe 15% should worry about pip. When that number can approach 50% then there's a problem
I didn’t even have to read the question to select ‘This is not a fair system, Amazon won’t change’
Very bad poll. This is super effective fair system and those weak nipple suckers can leave the company please
What do these stand for - HV, TT and LE? Sorry never worked at Amzn so not familiar.
OP - Thanks for updating the post!
Amazon does that cult thing with a bunch of made up lingo and conventions, and members expect everyone to act as if it is normal life
