What does the assessment system look like at Oxy? Is it relative ranking like other places

Oh my....
That’s what I thought. You have no idea what your talking about. In the U.S., you are not legally required to disclose all or any portion of your company’s EEO-1 data (demographic workforce data), except to the EEOC. It is definitely NOT public information. But go ahead and ask your HR rep for it. Tell them it’s just public information that you’re entitled to.
Ask your friendly neighborhood HR rep. They have to supply it to the government to show that there was no bias to the layoffs.
@1biw+1iWc1EaS, you were asked where the company’s demographic information is publicly disclosed. So where is it??
Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and now the hard truth about the HR department. Sometimes it's easier not to worry about certain things. Just leave the strange things you witness to chance or ufo's. Ignorance is truly bliss.
As a manager if you need HR to get involved you have problems.
I’ve been a manager for a while now and I’ve never had HR tell me how to rate or pay my team. I’d certainly listen to HR’s advice, but any manager worth his or her salt will run their team the right way and not take direction from others.
Get real. Your manager is looking at demographics, not HR.
@1biw+1iWc1EaS, where is it publicly disclosed? Be specific.
HR not involved? Ever heard of "demographics". They certainly are aware of the concept during layoffs...That information is public and disclosed. Demographics are also used in the career development side too. Previous company was very white/male dominated for several decades... Shift in the last decade to be more gender and minority balanced. You bet HR gets involved in this discussion . You are foolish to believe that your manager has the final say! Good Luck.
@gnm+1iWciEaS, it may be agreed by management, but I’m pretty sure that HR has no say in the rating that employees receive.
No, that’s the payroll system. The assessment system looks like a old record player with rabbit ear antennas.
It’s a very complicated system. They keep it in a securely locked room. It has a lot of buttons and levers, and a red light flashes when you turn it on. Some say it also plays CDs. Very few employees know how to work it.
If you’re a relative, you’ll definitely get a bigger raise.
Ratings are all relative. Ratings are normalized based on a distribution agreed to by HR and Management. If not, some managers will rate all of their employees rock stars and another could be a hard a** and rate their employees harshly. Some companies require the ratings go thru a technical and career committee. Many junior staff progress simply by the time behind the desk. Lots of politics unfortunately.... 40 years navigating this and I still scratch my head. Good Luck.
It’s all relative, mate.
As opposed to what other way of ranking?
