[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe I read somewhere that less than 1% of the workforce gets a rating of less than fully successful.[/quote]

Maybe it varies from agency to agency because I’ve heard it’s around 10%.

I’m wondering if someone told them that firing all the probationary employees without cause would result in an expensive and protected legal battle that they would lose, and now they’re pivoting to the lowest performers instead. [/quote]

They are going after both.

I'm a little surprised/amused by the pushback on this thread. Admittedly, we all only have our own experiences, but people aren't getting put on PIPs out of the blue. And if there's going to be a RIF exercise I'd expect that probationary employees will be looked at to see if they are performing successfully before they move to non-probationary status.

I personally know of two probationary employees that have performance issues - one is on a PIP. I'm not their supervisor, but I highly doubt they will be able to turn their performance around. The other is someone hired with a lot of experience, was hired at a high grade, etc. They don't want to work, and refuse to accept any constructive criticism or direction.[/quote]

I’m not worried about it being used with historical data. I am worried about how it will be used with whatever performance measures they put in place and how that will be deployed, and who will make those decisions moving forward. So, yeah, I am worried. [/quote]

+1. This might be okay if it was something they were doing in good faith. But after the past few weeks it is hard to trust anything.[/quote]
