May I ask if you're at Amazon? That particular bar raising process is fairly unique to Amazon, or at least started with Amazon. One struggle as a result is that the levels themselves slowly shift upward; it's harder and harder to get promoted as time passes. Other companies tend to have level compression, which Amazon's approach attempted to address. Now Amazon has a problem in that level 6, accepted as the typical terminal/career level, has become larger and larger as it stretches upward.
