Or you can try this trick. It should do it.

Well don't underestimate cultural differences here. Some nationalities are just better at selling their successes to drag everybody up. Others follow the "Not criticised is praise enough!" approach. So based on that we get random review results and no "calibration" will fix it. And this is the basis for layoff decision.. Omg...
Also company aquisitions in the past gave you a completely wrong grade distribution as people are usually downgraded one level once they are brought into the merry Intel family.
So yes the system is completely random and unfair to the extreme, but if you want to stay you have to play the game.
Asskissing will help you on your way to greatness young padawan!
I was ISP'ed last year but not escorted like you guys were and I am now a supplier to Intel making twice as much as before (At least). Best favor that Papa BK could do for me. I work with you guys on daily basis and believe me whenever I talk to you all I really feel bad for you for being stuck in this miserable place worrying about SSL, BE, IR, VSP, ISP, ER, site consolidation, ...... It sucks to be you inside Intel. I know its not nice to say but it is 100% true. Get the hell out and the sooner the better.
The real winners are: 1) executive "leaders" with no real vision making multi-$M 2) VSP/ISP recipients who can get the hell out of this Titanic called Intel before it completely sinks. The losers are everyone else who will be hating life for the next 5-10 years as the work piles up, layoffs increase and Intel slowly sinks.

Than face up to the fact I failed to plan
OOPS
I'm sure if the end of the year results are better than expected all this crap goes away, but what is the chance of that happening. Bunch of new clueless employees, slow down in production, morale at a all time low and a majority of employees with performance anxiety issues.
i suggest putting a broom up your assso you can sweep the floor on your way to the cafe for some free fruit....
Pucker up you f---ing losers
if you are white, male, and over 50, no amount of asskissing will matter, they have shorted the focal budgets to force 10% exceeds, 80% satisfactory and 10% BE or SLL4 ratings, If you are an 'experienced' drone near the top of your grade level, then TAG you're it. Look around at what just transpired and tell me I'm wrong.
asskissing has worked very well in my group. All the good hard workers were released and we are left with worthless suck ups.
Delivering your work is important but the most critical thing is networking. Manage expectations. Of your customers and stakeholders as well as your manager. You don't want one bad negative comment coming back from anyone. So network. Network. Network. Get your brand or reputation distributed very wide. You could be a top performer with excellent delivery and still get let go due to other issues. A person who asskisses alone has a better chance at surviving layoffs then someone who only delivers.
@qnc, thats exactly what I was doing before 2015 ISP but later found out the people who weren't doing anything but were kissing up the boss are still employed. I wish this was true.
You need to deliver! You are measured by what you deliver, not by how much assyou kiss. Your manager is measured by what his/her group delivers, not by how many kiss his/her ass This is the private sector, not government.
Working a lot but not delivering anything, is the same as not delivering. So, if you working on a project that has no clear exit criteria, speak up.
