[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He knew you were being laid off and didn't want a pregnancy-related lawsuit. Seems you've never been a great employee so they don't want to invest in you.[/quote]

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]

I'm a fed and 99% of the people at my agency get meets expectations. You'd need to walk on water to get a 5/5. Senior lawyer won a huge case in court for the government and still only got 4.5/5. Upper management looks at our scores and our supervisors get dinged if we have too many 5's. [/quote]

Same here. Fed attorney. It's super tough to get a 5 average. They lump the rest of us at average of 3s or 4s. The ones in the bottom 20 percent and the top 10 percent can and often both end up with an average of 3 in my division, especially depending on the supervisor you get. So frustrating and demoralizing for the high performers like myself. [/quote]

I've been a fed for the last 5 years and I've been getting outstanding each year. It's absolutely useless. I get some additional but very little time off awards and my requests for detail or rotation are being denied because there's nobody else willing to do the same amount of work in my group. Oh and more work is getting assigned to me. [/quote]
