That is a ridiculous policy! We are tiny and don't do evaluations. If people aren't up to expectations I work with them to get them up to expectations or get rid of them.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Speaking of work, I really need to get my butt out the door and to the office....

I realize it is likely a common corporate thing, but really, it doesn't fit the culture here at all and has been pissing off the main contract folk for a bit. I expect the all hands meeting with the corporate overlords to be ugly. Hell, I might just make it ugly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
More adventures in recruiting. The recruiter has passed on a message from a client, who wants to know how long it would take me to write "a blog".

Because books.
Oh dear.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
how long it would take me to write "a blog".
Prepare for a follow-up question about whether you can make "a Facebook" for them.

The managers are under intense pressure to adhere to the distribution that requires 40% of employees to be rated below expectations.
We're pretty hardcore on rating distributions but that's way out there.

Ugh sarameg, that's an ugly policy. We have a bit of it where I work but it's more along the lines of what Jessica says:
I don't know if our eval policy is that strict, but all the managers do get a stern "Not all of your employees are above expectations" email every year.
A blog or a blog post, Dana? I suppose they didn't specify.

Nope, that was the extent of the question.

Well at least that clarifies whether or not you'd want to work there.
