Did you read OP's post? She says she got her first negative review only after her first pregnancy. Before that, all reviews were good. [/quote]

OP said they received "average" performance reviews.  To me that means "satisfactory" or something similar.  Many (if not most) places "satisfactory" means "shitty."

As a fed if I started to get "meets expectations" as opposed to "exceeds expectations" or "outstanding" I'd start getting my shit together because if I ever wanted to change jobs every employer in the world knows that "meets expectations" in the fed world means "I can't fire the guy, but I sure as shit wouldn't keep him around if I had a choice."[/quote]

Uhh many of the places I've worked "meets expectations" is pretty good and 90 percent of the people get that. [/quote]

Same here.  In fact, at my employment, we have to prove our employees did something exceptional or out of the ordinary to give an "exceeds expectations" or "outstanding" rating.  And by prove, I mean we have to document what they did specifically.  We can't just say they did exceptional work, or they were never late turning in their projects.  It would have to be "on project A, they did X, Y, and Z, which was above and beyond."

very rarely does anyone get "outstanding" since the employee would have to be taking on extra projects, doing those tangible X, Y Z stuff consistently.
