Even smaller companies can work this way. During last year's review, my manager (who is also a lead developer--heck, even the VP of engineering writes code on a weekly basis) told me that he wanted to score me higher, but some people frowned on such things because "people really can't be that good."
It doesn't bother me much because our department is fairly sane in how they deal with reviews, and management in general.
- archangel_one 16y agoAgree. I work for a small company who occasionally like to act like a big company; we have a similar system which used to be hooked up to bonuses, but they eventually removed those. The explanation was pretty obtuse, but reading between the lines there were some employees getting bonuses even though they should objectively have been 4s or 5s on that scale - because of course everyone got 2 or 3 regardless.
