I worked as a manager in a mega-corp. One of tricks I was told by other managers is to put your best employees on the ‘focus’ list (grade 3) so they cannot leave for a better position/team in the company. But they would get bonuses because the bonuses were per team and HR was not aware who gets what.
Of course the ‘focus’ list was a secret list :)
- jp42 5y agoThats evil. Blind is littered with posts of amazon employees who are mentally destroyed. It's ok to put on pip for genuine performance issues, but why destroy those who are performing well.
- kergonath 5y agoThe parent comment mentioned why: to extract the absolute maximum amount of work you can from this employee. As you said, evil.
- wheelinsupial 5y agoOther companies, including where I work, are able to lock employees to teams by requiring manager approval to interview and move internally. I would be very surprised if this isn’t a common occurrence throughout many organizations.
