You can try but in over 25 years I've never heard of anyone successfully winning one. Remember HR is not that for you, they are there to protect the company from litigation by helping managers control the masses through vague policies. I worked for Fidelity HR for many years and have been "in the room" when these types of discussions happen.
My advice, if you disagree with the review the best thing you can do is find a new department or leave the company. Regardless of the rhetoric a manager might claim the company views you as a widget not a human.
Performance reviews are largely a joke and will represent whatever the useless HR function and weak managers want them to say. Until Fidelity gets rid of HR the place will remain a mess, as evidenced by the many complaints on this forum. In my experience, Sr management are puppets and HR simply maintenance on the strings. You need to figure out who the puppet master is.
Good luck. I tried with HR and ER because what knocked me to IP is something my boss approved. Corporate HR swooped in and hammered me. Nobody cares about you or me and we're all just numbers. Fidelity is no longer what it once was.
They don't want you in their team they want you to quit if you are rated IP
you’re clueless
Don’t bother…posing a rock up the hill. You maybe able to fight the rating but it will have no impact on bonus/shares. Better to understand why your rating wasn’t what you thought and move on. The ratings have historically been a check the box/admin burden and something that lasts about 15 minutes. Move on
SVP power assess it, if it's a new SVP you can contest it, if no people who say they are introverts is the king Cobra. Beware you need a mongoose in your department to counteract this king Cobra, contest and document
