They stage the whole cycle so they can manufacture nonsense feedback. The entire year I kept asking my manager for a real project because I was under‑utilized and stuck doing basic data analysis. I even reached out to others for work, but he blocked everything and insisted that all assignments had to come “directly from him.” Then in the PA meeting he claimed I “didn’t build credibility.” How exactly was I supposed to do that when he deliberately prevented me from taking on meaningful work?

Even SVPs are doing this same - protecting their favorites, ranking them high and letting others who delivered the whole year down with some made up reason like you have no visibility. If senior leaders dont demonstrate weareEM behaviors, how can the system be trusted that it is merit based.
If ya'll start talking about a collective bargining ( Union) they would treat you a lot differently.
Very surprised that ya'll don't have one.
They can't fire you for trying to organize.
Think about this - firefighters , police and federal employees are typically in a Union.
Ain't nothing wrong with trying to fight for ya'llselves .
I brought ideas forward which were then stolen and developed by others with management approval. Then come assessment time I was given zero credit and others were given credit for as they said doing the hard work! I would have done the work in my ideas but my manager stole it and assigned it to their friends and then marginalized and excluded me.
My scenario was exact opposite… mgr expected certain people on team to identify own initiatives, which I did but that’s not the point. However, same Mgr gave ALL her pet projects to Bestie who had been pipped that Mgr took in as an accommodation to save. System corrupt as he!!
Of course it’s a setup, how else can they “predict your potential”
