[quote=Anonymous]This is all going to vary greatly depending upon who is doing the reviewing. Look up the hawk and dove phenomena. Doves will basically put "exceeds expectations" for anyone who is halfway decent at their job, and hawks don't tend to give out "exceeds expectations" unless someone is a true superstar, like top 10% of employees they have ever seen. Most reviewers are somewhere in between. Sounds like perhaps the folks in your department are evaluated by a hawk.

At any rate, I would set up a meeting to talk to my supervisor about the general expectations for my position and what I could do to exceed them. If you don't come across as complaining about the review you got, and come across as enthusiastic about improving instead, it can only help you.

You said everyone worked really hard, but working really hard doesn't necessarily get you there if you don't have the insight to work on the right things. That is where the discussion with your supervisor could help. Good luck. All of us who work really hard want to receive an "exceeds expectations" in our review.  [/quote]
