Just was told I had to have so many Did Not Meets, Inconsistently Mets, etc to meet a bell curve. Anyone hired this year or recently promoted has to get less than successful for being new to role. It makes no difference what the manager, or even their managers manager thinks, nor does what the employee actually did count at all. The C levels at my company make millions of dollars in bonuses regardless of how well the company performs.
