The senior leadership team and HR heads are trying their hardest to destroy the company culture. They are promoting a toxic work environment by pitting employee against employee for annual ratings. They don’t trust their managers to accurately rate their subordinates and are forcing 15% of the company into “Does not meet” or “partially meets” boxes, giving them no raise and severely reduced bonuses. Employees can do extra work and not miss a single deadline or metric but still receive less pay just because their manager isn’t trusted to properly rate subordinates.
