Do PG30 and above have the same quota or ratio for 'moderate'?
During the most recent lay off, how many "moderate" survived?

I think the bell curve was tightened this year so far more people will get "moderate". Getting a moderate rating for any category is a warning sign to start looking for a new job.

Layoffs are expensive since the company has to pay severance so they decided to give people moderate ratings instead to force folks out in a cost-effective manner.

This is absolutely a Fact! Pay attention folks

PG31 here - this is absolutely false! Curve applies to all.

Who said the above statement didn't apply to all? The bell curve was tightened, and the new bell curve is being applied across the board.

Who exactly is included in 'all'? Is there a quota requirement for a manager to be rated as 'moderate'?

Between the tracking of card swipes at the offices, the monitoring of time spent engaged in computer activity via the server, the tightening of the bell curve to include a wider swath of employees to cut, along with a cliff of terminations as you approach retirement age - JNJ seems has gone full throttle to unnerve the entire organization while all employees should be searching for a rescue boat on the RMS Titanic. How do employees work under such conditions? I guess they known two semiannual layoffs will now be just more targeted layoffs? What a minefield to walk into every week!

This is absolutely false at least on the MedTech side. If anything the curve was loosened this year; result of ongoing layoffs.

Curve was tightened in all J&J organizations. Don’t forget the “wild card” is How. They can try to justify low ratings on How with little data, just opinions. That is why the How was created ten years ago, to give management more options for lowering ratings. The What is hard to dispute. The How is more vague. If they cannot lower you on What they will do it on How. Very hard to push back on the How and if you do push back on How they will say “you just proved our point”

What a messed up environment that JNJ leadership has created and sustained.
