It doesn’t matter what you rate yourself. They’ve already decided what they’re going to do with you. I was here over 30 years always got ones in twos all years. my last year here got all threes and then surprise surprise was laid off in January. I saw the writing on the wall when I got the threes I didn’t say anything because I didn’t give a cr-p anymore as I’m near retirement age and don’t need to be here got my one year severance, and was extremely happy to be out of there. If you think your self-assessment matters you’re wrong if you think they don’t already know what they’re gonna do with you you’re wrong.
Years ago, I rated myself 2's and 3's. My manager rated me a 2 in all categories.
2 days after my year end discussion, I was back in my manager's office receiving the news that their manager had decided I was a 3, not a 2.
Since then I just rate myself a 3 and also do 3 work.
This rating system is bogus. I have seen management use it to rate people 4's when the people have done outstanding work. They do this when the raise and bonus money is limited.
Final ratings submissions are due Nov. 22. So it's not done yet. Managers may have preliminary ratings that could change. So if you're currently rated 3, your rating could be changed to 2 or vice versa. Also, as typical mediocre Citi, Citi is going to be even more stringent and cheap with doling out 1 and 2 ratings this year. So a 1 or 2 rated employee will get rated 3 because Citi further wants to minimize salary increases, bonuses and promotions. This contributes to Citi's fragmentation and dysfunction because there's No continuity and legacy knowledge when quality employees quit due to the low salaries, bonuses and promotions. At this rate Citi is getting sold, broken up or reduced to a banking clearing house like BNY Mellon and State Street Bank.
read all of your past reviews often what the employee writes is completely misaligned with what the mgr writes, irrespective of rating. it is like two people having a conversation about two completely different subjects
Truly doesn’t matter. Especially this year. Everyone has already been rated. I’m forced to give exceptionally high performing directs satisfactory ratings. All the talk about Citi retaining talent is just talk.
bell curves are id--tic
all year mgrs stress teamwork
then on YE we are expected to talk abt how super we are as individuals
When I wrote up my year end, I really wanted to write "It doesn't matter" in all the areas.
I rated myself mostly 2 and 3, as I have not given it my all this year.
I also know my benefits will go up 5% for 2024, and inflation went up as well. Citi will not give me a raise that will allow me to break even.
Duped. For the last 3 years Citi execs pretended to care about workers but it was all a lie. Citi is a company stuck in the 1980s. Their procedures and systems are ancient and managers are too afraid to simplify. Citi is not a worker friendly company. Instead they are a big burocracy. Employees are just numbers. As soon as the job market improves it will be time to leave.
It doesn't really matter. They already knew what they were going to rate you prior to the self-eval.
To the OP, it's b) No one gets anything because Citi's bonuses will be lower than last year's if not none existent and very few if any promotions will be doled out this year. This is Not an assumption or guess. There have been numerous meetings about the zero or low bonuses and fewer promotions for this and next year. Good luck keeping or attracting quality and high performing employees, Citi. And then Citi LIES during it's Q3 Earnings meetings that one of its goals is "Investing in Talent". I call Bullsh-t and Hypocrisy on this ! How are you investing in Talent when the salaries and salary increases are low if not zero and laughable, the bonuses are a joke and there are few if any promotions??? Citi is bleeding high quality Talent, they're literally voluntarily quitting because they have better choices other than mediocre Citi ! Citi will always be the mediocre "bank" its always been contrary to Jane Fraser's statement that Citi will soon deliver the full potential of the bank. R0tflmf0a ! It's no wonder Citi mostly attracts mediocre or lower quality employees and job applicants compared to Goldman and JPMorgan to which Citi aspires to become. It will happen when 2+2=5 . Citi has always been the underdog compared to its peers, just like Lehman and Bear Stearns were always underdogs. And we all know what happened to Lehman and Bear.
Given the current environment, it does not matter. Rewards, if you can call it that, message will be:
a.) “You’ll get the same as you got last year no more, no less”
or
b.) “No one gets anything”
All of which of course does not apply to Jane. She, like clockwork, will be rewarded the big bucks regardless of how many people get laid off even though she’s the one that got us here.
Fabulous
It really doesn't matter, so I mix it up and rate areas 1, 2, or 3.
