Got a 4 last year, it's a partner I've been having monthly calls with, seemed like I got everything turned around this year although I think our review system is pretty opaque so I could be anywhere from a 2-4 this year

Yeah and the specific team u work with makes a big difference simply because every SM or partner has a different opinion what 3 or 4 performer looks like. Very subjective process

System is seriously opaque and political. Makes for a very stressful, paranoid existence.

Aren't you on pto on Friday? Is this a partner you work with? Wouldn't bad news, if it is that, come from your relationship partner ?

I doubt they will let you go unless the subject line is "Talent Discussion" or something. Could be a counseling out kind of conversation but not any sort of immediate separation.

Yeah the review system and the PIP in particular is pretty opaque (I wasn't sure how things were going and how long it would last until the following year-end). Trying to remember if I had a random partner call the year after I got a 4... hope it turns out alright!
