@1uxu+1ugDQpMc - Forced ranking, YES. Forced "lower achiever" (old terminology), NO.
We did not have a mandate to force x% as lower achiever. Last time we had that was during Jac the kn--e.
If you don't know, "inconsistent" is a silicon valley HR buzzword.
My mid-yr was the same. Supervisor said my work was great, but they needed a distribution. So I got inconsistent, the only feedback was work faster. WTF
Mid-year feedback was so random, there was no correlation between the behavior and the feedback given. Did it happen to anyone else? It seems like they decided which band you are going to be irrespective of how well you did the work.
For those who are real Ford employees, there is nothing new. Forced ranks were on hold during Covid, now they are back, that's it.
Before covid all those deemed unfit were given poor PR and forced / pushed to move out. It was common practice. Covid is over, now the HR practice is back. Big deal. Of course now those with pension will be the target, we always were, HR i s just playing a Mkt stint with the media so Ford's reputation does not get a hit. Headcount reduction is coming giving the recent announcements delaying launching EV's. Since 2017 there have been headcount reductions every year, in 2022 and 2023, those were forced separations. Old ones like me were expecting some type of package as our cousins in Auburn Hills but we got the Bird.
This time is like old times, old LLs are protected but all GSRs are fair game to be fired.
Boston Consulting is back in business planning headcount reduction and the impact of letting go LLs, at WHQ's there are two camps fighting, one tries to fire all old LLs & GSRs and the other is trying to fire only old GSRs. We'll see who wins.
Although there is no specific date, all LLs have been taking whole days off planning who stays and who leaves
if you're 28 years, you have a pension so that's good.
It’s going….
It's coming....
LL6 here from PD, I can attest that we were required to meet a rating distribution. We also had to give a ranked list which was done at the LL5 level.
The management is forced to create a distribution but they ain't ranking. BS.. This is typical management double speak. It really PS me off. It's nothing to do with your work performance. Management is what needs to be fixed.
Nope.
