Trending @Infosys; Feeling low and unhappy - Exit Communication to Employee
As a manager I had to be part of a exit process due to UP rating of the employee. This was the 2nd time I'm involved in these discussions, and this time also feeling very low and unhappy after communicating the decision. Feels like I've done something wrong.
Anyone here who had similar experiences and how you deal with it?
Were u forced to give up? Like do managers have certain ratings thry need to dostributr likr for eg in team of 10 do u need to give someone up/ni and there are only 6 Me and 1 outstanding
Is it like that? Asking because my manager hasnt given anyone below ME but managers in other projdct give out NI/UP
Yes sometimes forced by senior leadership. Especially in bigger projects
Yes typically that is the case. In such scenarios managers find someone who atleast has one escalation or got removed from project by client due to feedback. These are easy targets but other times there is no one in team with a negative feedback that’s when things get ugly and some poor guy who is not very visible gets targeted. Many times the person getting NI/UP doesn’t really realise what the rating means. If you have done well and have no escalations you should fight hard to not accept this rating and bring hr and DM into picture .
Can understand the pain, but understand our hands also tied by leadership team and cannot disclose all the things to junior talents. Every talent has their own specialisation, we need to mention their positives during the exit process.
Get used to it. This will be the norm going forward. To avoid it if you see someone not peri forming warn them in advance of the consequence sometimes a wake-up call is needed. Try to get Visibility of each and everyone of your reportee in front of your manager so that there is something to fight back with if you are being forced to give NI/UP
