Only 15,300 people are important enough to keep.

WOW ! Tech debt reduction will be very swift. Less managers who do nothing. Less nontechnical people slowing everything down.

17% of personnel is the goal. Better get ready

Saw today in the performance review update today that 17% are rated “Critical to retain”.
The goal is less than 20%. Seems like stack ranking is back.
Why would you have a team of stars when only 1:5 are allowed to be critical?

Probably 0.2%

The bar is very low at Cisco. You just need to show up.

Easy rating for every one. Then they could be included for LR or not.

This plus "needs improvement" must add up to 5% for all employees reporting to a director.
