Too much to respond to. I think our low 3's are really two groups, frankly, I think most of the low 3's are people given different projects/opportunities would have been the 4/5s. I have seen it so many time... person A didn't do well on crap project 1, so they go on another crap project. While Person B hit a home run on a great project so we put them on another great project. So many subtle ways we steer the outcomes.
