Any leaders who can confirm a rumor? I heard that there is a requirement that at a certain level (team, department, or other) where a % of associates must be given a 1 rating. No other info and hoping it’s just a rumor. Looking for someone with more info.

There is a push to have a bell curve across the org with 5 levels. ~5% in the lowest and highest rankings, ~15% in the next highest and lowest and ~60% in the middle.
Not for me. I wasn't really allowed to give a 1. It would have had to be pretty extreme. No 5s really either though...also an extreme.
I am a manager and this is not true. It was also mentioned on a company call that it doesn’t work this way. In our area we need to supply justification for 1,2 or 4,5 so both why rated poor performance and high performance.
That is true
@104 It may not be that "cut and dry", but as a former leader even if I had a team of exceeding expectations or meeting expectations in our review process with other leaders it was consistently challenged even if I could support it.
Not true
True
I wouldn't doubt it. I've had a former employer flat out refuse my manager's rating of "outstanding" (the highest in the rating system at the time) because it would have meant an 8% increase in salary. Corporate forced her to decrease it one level. She informed me of this on the one to one discussion of the evaluation. Guess what happened: they got only "satisfactory" level of work for the remainder of my tenure.
Absolutely false. On the other hand, getting my associates approved for 4 was a significant challenge. Five was out of the question.
Not true.
