Our company is extremely wierd when it comes to performance reviews. Despite being 60+ years old, our HR department works like a car manufacturer: if they don't come out with an entirely new rankings model every year, they feel they've failed the marketplace.
At the moment, we look at results only during the mid-year evaluation with a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grade, while the year-end review will evaluate more characteristics. In prior years, all personnel within a given division were then ranked with the bottom 15% penalized no matter what they did good or bad; I'm told that system is gone currently in favour of some new & unspecified system.
Utterly bizarre and unpredictable, but it's what we got. :-(
