[QUOTE="jehardrock, post: 583402, member: 7763"] In reading many of these posts related to performance rankings and leadership everyone needs to understand that UPS, at least on the IT side, seems to have adopted the Jack Welch (GE) method of performance ratings. We are at a point where a certain percentage of our folks are required to be rated at LE even if it is not warranted. If you make the case that you don't have any "Less than Expected" performers, you are then required to indicate the folks who are "Least Effective" which is nothing more than a twisting of words to get the LE % required. Many in Sr. Management are running scared and doing as they are told for fear of losing their job and/or being perceived as not following the company line. You can't have an opinion anymore unless it is in agreement with those above you. Project Management is great as long as you reflect a plan with the delivery date that Management wants to see instead of the reality of what it really takes to deliver. This is a sad state of affairs now and as we look into the future. We are now in a mode where it's all about every person for themselves and the do-ers get dumped on and then get blamed for trying to make things happen for the good of UPS. I have never seen such a lack of leadership as exists today. [/QUOTE]
