It simply means, they get their bonuses, nothing more.

  Okay, it reads like everyone's review says "Exceeds", or whatever the top mark is. That's not fair to those that are actually "Exceeding".

    It's tough question. I mostly agree with you, because I was the one who was exceeding during COVID. But some people objectively could not because of stress and family distractions and living conditions (eg no separate office room). Socialists (who drive most SV companies) consider that an unfair disadvantage (like being a woman, or being black, or being gay), thus that unfairness need to be compensated. It is similar to a compensation for parenting: only parents get paid parenting days, while childless people don't get it, and it may be considered unfair.

      I had some of those problems. I'd have no issue with my appraisal for that time period saying "met expectations" instead of "exceeded them". Even if it dinged my bonus. The company being flexible and understanding with my time was enough for me.
