Flexible Work, Unfair Ratings
Flexible Work, Unfair Ratings
IBM's policies and management are very flexible when it comes to working remotely or accommodating various life situations (sick days, doctor visits, etc.). Management is encouraged to measure an employee by their work.
Unfortunately, IBM still uses the "normal distribution" rating system, where at the end of the year each employee is ranked as:
- Top contributor (5%)
- Above average contributor (15%)
- Average contributor (~75%)
- Bottom contributor (5%)
