I would be interested to hear from people wtih experience challanging the concept of forced curves.
Firstly im not at Uber anymore so this concerns another employer.
I joined and have built a new team within the last 6 months and we approach our first performance review. I was hired to raise the bar for my team theough hiring and leading and my predessor deivered a shit show. i learned last week that despite it being called a performance review and ending with a performance rating (with bonus) and having an employment contract that stipulates i would have performance ratings, that in fact the company will implement an ‘approaching target’ which is one below midpoint for all employees under 6 months servcie. regardless of inpact, feedback or managers review. most of the team is just shy of the 6 months.
my question is 1) Is this even legal given our employment contracts etc? 2) Is this common but i have somehow not seen it elsewhere? 3) what would you guys do?
I have refused to issue those ratings for my team as i dont belive in them. i have said i will only do so if the company changes the ratings on my bahalf following calibration (which we now know is rigged). i am probably gonna be fired.
Want to see the real deal?

Try to induce change through coercion or persuasion if you care enough. If you don't, then leave.
Being prone to confrontations does not help anyone. You need to resolve this amicably and assertively, or leave in due course of time
It’s impossible to answer about your team unless you tell us the jurisdiction for each team member. There is no “asking generally” when it comes to legal matters. Law is based on where each person is.
Is it legal somewhere on Earth? Yes. Is it illegal somewhere on Earth? Yes.
