Does anyone have experience with Ben Glass’s “Great Legal Marketing” programs? https://greatlegalmarketing.com
I ordered a free “starter kit” from his company and received a decent-sized box with some books and audio CD’s. Haven’t listened to the CD’s yet, but the books aren’t bad, with plenty of practical advice.
Now he’s running a promotion where you can get two months of his basic-level course for just $19.95 to cover the cost of shipping. It seems that Ben is one of the better-regarded legal marketing “gurus” out there.
Tell me it’s not true.

When will the Hike letters be out ?
$1000 says this didn’t happen. 🤣 😂

Exact same case for me
Its due to normalisation what my senior manager informed me. And as per him there is no consequences for this as its first year and due to normalisation
Same here. All politics i believe.
Yeah a lot of new joiners got 2 rating. I joined last year March. Performed well, got client appreciation but was given 2. Seems like its decided by upper management
Chief
Then you could have receive default rating which is 3 however there is no use of fighting now.
I was told the same when I joined
I think you’ve been lied to, even if you’ve joined just 4 months ago, you’ll get ratings as per your performance, KPI metrics . I’m not aware of such HR policy in the picture
This won’t have a major impact on your job security as it’s just been 8m but continuously if you are getting 2 then it might be a problem
And bonus will be affected badly. And are you currently in an active billable project?
Thank you for your response. Yes, I am in a project right now.
I joined in June 2025 and got 5 , so it’s obviously not true
Amazing!
It's been 10months now for me,and in the year end Rating I got 5 and it mainly depends on how you manage work and have good communication with the team and the management. I was mostly 10-20mins late to office but had good rappo with the lead and team and complete the work and go when ever I want. And mainly I had zero quality issues in the work which gave me this rating.

There is guardrail for new joinee. HCM can not give below 3. So if you are new joinee then you must have 3 or above. You have been given 2, it means HCM has rated as 2 or it might be part of normalisation
I have been given 2. Informed like as part of normalisation it's been given 2. Wow very nice politics. In feedback description , I have performed very well and given 100%. So it's difficult to survive nowadays. Can't expect anything from anyone.
I don't think it's true , even i joined in June and got 4 rating based on performance. If they say HR policy ask to share the documents.they are not confidential
There is no point fighting now, I guess
