It depends on the company. The head of the department is aware. In some cases, the hiring manager might or might not be aware of the entire process ("HR told me to stack rank my direct reports / HR told me to put my team in these 9-blocks"). In large, large company that is typically a headline "Cisco has announced will lay off 500 people next Monday".

- amaks 10y agoThere is (almost) always stack ranking for the purposes of equity and bonus distributions, implicit or explicit. But there is also bottom xx% rule for people that must be given bad reviews and placed on PIP. In Microsoft 2000s it was mandatory rule to axe 10% of bottom performers within a team.
