There is an obvious push to force review scores into a bell curve. Basically, a '5' or exceptional review is unattainable. A '4' appears to be close to impossible as well. Everyone is shoved into a '3', regardless of actual results in our goals or how we compare to peers. Its as if you don't want people to do well. The comments in my feedback do not line up with the score given, which tells me that the numbers are meaningless. I actually feel bad for my leadership, because i can tell it isnt their choice. Please stop wasting my time doing that every year. If we all get the same, lets just stop wasting time doing all of it so that i can check a box for you. It has less than zero value to me now. Every review cycle is just an annual crush to my morale. The major gap in benefits is for mental health care. It is treated like a luxury. The EAP is useless for anything chronic. The company claims to care, but your actions speak volumes. Treat mental healthcare like healthcare, and make it part of our insurance plan, or just admit you don't think it is important. I tried to use it. It was useless, a complete waste of time. Bonus has also become quite anemic for us 'average' folks.
