GE has developed a method to evaluate job performance that is being implemented in other companies and in the hospital where I work. The system requires that 10% of the employees be given a "0" for job perfermance each quarter. This translates into no pay increase. 5% may be given a "5" which translates into a 5% pay increase. 5% may be given a "4" which translates into a 4% pay increase. 75% may be given a "3" which translates into a 3% pay increase. There are no "2" or "1" categories. The only mandatory category that supervisors are required to assign is the "0" category. Personally, I find this system very unfair. In a department where everyone is doing their best, some will receive a "0" for their efforts, and only a few will really be rewarded for their hard work. What are your thoughts on this. Are mandatory zeros legal? I would certainly like to hear the opinion of a lawyer

Corporations spend big bucks on recruiting mba's. Those grads think those systems they learned in college will work in the real world. Here is the best example. What a slap in the face-- to be told you did nothing the whole year that warrants any merit or recognition!

I agree that the system may appear unfair at first glance. However, look around your office and the other departments you visit during your workday. I bet you will find more than 10% of the employees are doing as little as possible to advance the goals of the organization. Frankly, I think that the 10% might really be 20% who not only don't deserve a raise but ought to be replaced!

I have a feeling that the same thing goes on where I work. Someone's got to get a lower evaluation. And it isn't based on your actual performance, because I don't believe, I know for certain that I am better than people who got higher rankings than me, and that's not me being delusional about my performance or anything... then again I am not sure how they are deciding, and it's really bothering me. so my opinion is yes, it's unfair. as well as quite demotivating and demoralizing, to know that all your hard work doesn't pay off. literally.

i do no longer think of a criminal professional will do you lots sturdy. maximum of states are employment at will--which potential in case you do no longer like it, depart. I actually have a matching score gadget on my interest. I even have consistently been the proper producer in my branch. I even have gained prizes, 3 all price paid journeys, etc. yet my supervisor has never given me something greater suitable than "meets expectancies" on my overview. My basically convenience is, is that i'm base earnings plus fee. I earn greater money than my supervisor. LOL

This is not a legitimate assesment; it's a goddamn popularity contest!
