[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our organization, meets expectations means no bonus because you did only what you were already paid to do. So [b]I consider meets expectations subpar when a bonus is reserved for those who get exceeds [/b]or outstanding. [/quote]

That's not what subpar means: people who are actually subpar didn't meet expectations. And people who merely meet expectations shouldn't get a bonus.

You should, however, get a raise if your goals are ratcheted up every year. Employers should not play the game of increasing expectations without increasing base pay.

Also, the people who think you need to grade on a curve are making life really difficult for honest managers who want to reward all their staff who excel. Employees either exceeded expectations or they didn't. With a curve, you either always give bonuses to the same couple people (so why should the others bother to exceed?) or give a bonus to Jack one year and kind of randomly to Sam the next year (to spread it around). Neither is helpful. [/quote]
