Anyone have remote idea how the performance ratings in Insights correlate to being important in the company?.
The insights FAQ says , it has no connection , but that is very fishy. If a person is on Track for all last quarters compared to one who got Ahead in a quarter ,, the second one will get the nod to stay I believe?
Anyone has any experience yet?
Looking at the posts here, just FYI, I am an American.

Insights or no insights. Everyone is doomed. Period.
Managers under-report certain subordinates data based on being told have someone (or two) in your back pocket ready to let go. If they are military, all mil subordinates safe. Immigrant subordinates safe. Near retirement age will be offered an out. Protected worker classes are safe. If you have been targeted recently, know they were trying to fire you or get you to quit and you are on that short list.
Definite correlation, this was in process in April. Expect certain employees targeted by being under-reported for performance, in hopes if a dept needs to eliminate those tributes will go. Know your worth and sleep well at night
No correlation. In the us companies either use a job elimination- where they get rid of everyone in a group doing the same thing, or they use a grading sheet with reasonably objective skills measurement. Intel used this… so do many other companies. It all gets checked by lawyers to be as fair as possible. Performance is used to fire people without layoffs. You get some kind of written warning that eventually has a severance offer. It’s less. Layoffs generally have better benefits because the company can write them off as restructuring..which Intel already said last quarter they would charge this quarter. So performance is not very attractive to use right now…can’t write it off.
It's anybody's guess at this point. Not sure what matters and what not.
The worst part is that it really feeds in the moral and provides extreme stress and health issues when every moment for last 2/3 weeks we are constantly under threat that we may not have the means to feed our family in a couple of weeks. It's a surreal and eerie.
Layoffs this year are HR controlled. No management involvement. Insights data is AI analyzed with no bias towards age, race or time in grade. Purely based on the 4 knows you and your manager moved around during Insights 1:1.
Same reason September Insight was moved to October so that layoff leaks will not allow managers to over rate/tweak buttons.
I hope layoffs are not correlated to something managers copy paste into 15 min before the meeting.
It was done to make it ambiguous. Now they can fire anyone!!!!
Insights was created to make the focal process impotent and useless for such purpose was it not?
90% if reviews were bad. "They" have to be careful, though.
If someone can show that correlation = causation, they cannot truthfully claim "job code eliminated".
The good news that anything can be rigged in a company's favor if the company is overtly "woke".
