I has this happen to me. My org had a set of promotion opportunities that went to a cohort of engineers who'd also been gamed into working above level but for a longer time.
All my feedback was along the lines of "you're great, but next time"
When I, and about 15 others left over the same two week period as the results of those promotions were made public it was a BIG shock to the biz. Sadly I hear they are just blaming culture at the lower levels rather than the HR team who do this.
- sokoloff 5y agoIf your HR team is deciding engineering promotions, stop looking for the problem; you found it. HR is welcome to attend/audit the process, give statistical analysis, check for biases, advise on how to handle underperforming employees, give compensation band advice, and execute the promotion decisions the technology group decides. But if they’re the ones deciding, you need to change your company (or change companies).
- gonzo41 5y agoWe'll that's already happened for me. But the issue at core was that HR controlled the pace of promotions etc. But it didn't likewise keep control over the work that would be pushed onto people.
