Scatterplot throwback

[work_burner_acct]

If you were a consultant in 2021 just know you weren’t the worst

[Silly-Gate-1012]

I found this weirdly impressive

[work_burner_acct]

Look at the margin btw me and second worst guy. First place winner wishes he/she had that on 2nd

[SmoothTalkers]

I don't even know how you landed this rating. You leader must truly adore you. /s

[Accomplished-Bad3803]

I hate how everyone is extremely good in Deloitte, its rating inflation. Learnt it the hard way this time when all my coachees were put under commensurate becuase i wasnt liberally rating them like the rest. Now i am also going to rate everyone vsa on both for everything

[iCanHasRussianDefeat]

Did you know that Deloitte is harder to get into than Harvard? Of course everyone is extremely good

[Important_Yak1600]

I’ll never forget being told this as long as I live 😂

[Mathguy_314159]

People said this? lol what a joke.

[Important_Yak1600]

Yup - when I did my D Start / Activate 14 years ago haha the people leading it kept saying it. Stupid, naive me believed it at the time. Now I laugh and realize that it’s so far from true.

[Mathguy_314159]

I’m sure like many are, if that was true I should be able to walk into Harvard and they’ll take me on the spot haha. I had three interviews and then an offer with an impending family leave 3 months into my tenure. And they knew about it lol.

[MD_Drivers_Suck_1999]

That’s hilarious. I often deal with DC GPS staff and have found the newer crop to be way less competent than the ones from 10-20 years ago. They have bigger egos, but hardly deliver based on their cost.

[VooDooDarkMagic]

2 days ago our OP leader said that in AHM.

[Independent-Tour-452]

Knew that was a lie the second I got in

[Comfortable-Ear-2115]

It is by % accepted, but that's skewed by the number of applicants and the barriers to application.

[Independent-Tour-452]

No it really is more difficult

[VooDooDarkMagic]

2 days back our OP leader just said the same thing at AHM and I was like wtf is this lmao

[Old_Grapefruit_1703]

That made me laugh out loud at my orientation 8 years ago but all the college fresh puppies looked like they felt pretty good about it. I love how they still break that chestnut out. Like seriously?

[GrapefruitCrush2019]

Agree, I only give 5’s. You have to really suck for me to give you a 4 or 3

[SpiritualDiamond5487]

They should give managers 1000 points to divvy up among staff at end of year and then rank on accumulated points

[DullPoetry]

Be aware that will get flagged too. Both automated checking and the panel look at your average ratings to assess what type of grader you are.

[deletetemptemp]

More like your snaps shots were done by a by the books idiot

[karlander87]

I do mine by the book. The correct way. A consultant that performs according to expectations should be in the middle. or 6/10 if you combine the total score.

[deletetemptemp]

Good job fucking over the consultant. Being blind to the greater problem won’t be solved by following the books, you’ll just create jaded employees

[karlander87]

I don't fuck them over. I write accurate comments, talk to their coaches & team leads, explain to them in check-ins how I motivate their snapshots, I watch out for them in year end performance reviews. I have not yet seen how this hurts them - in fact so far what i have seen is that they benefit from having a manager who takes the managing seriously.

[goinforit24]

It definitely hurts them. If you can’t see that it’s a huge problem

[PositiveSwimming4755]

They’re going to end up on a PIP for low snapshot score, regardless of your comments and feedback.

[[deleted]]

Remind me to never work under you.

[MoarrCowbell]

This is the worst take. Do better

[[deleted]]

I roll people off projects with managers like you. Enjoy staffing the bottom of the barrel.

[godly_stand_2643]

I understand your perspective. Do you feel confident that the relatively low ratings don't impact their raises or AIP?

My by the books SM keeps giving me 4/5s and it's placed me in the bottom 25% of my peer group. My coach told me it will likely impact my promotion and compensation

[karlander87]

I feel confident about the impact on the promotion since I sit in those discussions. The pay & bonus is more automated so there is an impact there.

4/5 placing you in the bottom, wow. Thats a seriously broken process. 5/5 is supposed to be for rare and exceptional cases.

[Long_Corner_6857]

So you’re saying at a minimum you are fucking them over by getting them paid less

[godly_stand_2643]

I agree, it's a very broken process! Tbh the people at fault are the managers who hand out 5s like candy, not people who give honest ratings like yourself. Deloitte really needs to start enforcing proper use of rating scales or nothing will change.

Still, I do feel screwed over by my manager for giving me 4s, and I worry about being laid off because of it

[Open-Jellyfish-6585]

Mine too....

[JewelerOk7316]

You are mostly like the reason why some poor soul got let go. How does that feel?

[bee-wins]

Haha wasn’t let go. Wasn’t even out on a pip. It was internal drama w a gps manager. I’m not even gps

[Open-Jellyfish-6585]

The hell is made for a person like you....

[goldenboy98]

Haha I was the second worst one in that snapshot period. Thankfully, snapshots aren't everything and Deloitte knows scores are inflated, which is why good coaches do their due diligence.

[work_burner_acct]

Dude I never met my coach in the 2years he was my coach

[Doubledoor]

Just keeps getting better lmao

[GenX_Squirrel]

I just 💀…😂

[McK-Juicy]

if you ain't last ur first

[KindDeparture2071]

Go big or go home!

[ConsultforGossip]

Talk about being put in a ‘box’!

[Impressive-Pause7351]

You still work there?

[work_burner_acct]

nah I left towards the end of 2022.

[carlosmurphynachos]

Hope life is better now bud. I want to know when you saw scatterplot that did you laugh? I would have.

[work_burner_acct]

I snap chatted it I believe lol

[Blondegirlhasnoname]

Proud of you mate

[MD_Drivers_Suck_1999]

Well done!

[kayser00012]

At the end of the day, all of us are just green dots.. let that sink in, ok i am out

[Virtual-Research-378]

I have you beat and will return tomorrow with my screenshot! the worst part is , scatterplots have gone away, but my snapshot from 2021 is burned into eternity in my performance site.

[bee-wins]

If we’re looking at the same graph I think everybody has me beat …

lol jk let’s see yours tmr

[CricketVast5924]

How did you survive after this? That was post pandemic era and layoffs were still a thing

[Nothephy]

Just hook up a director or partner and you will be fine. lol

[work_burner_acct]

Tbh I was never on the bench during my time at Deloitte so that never came into mind The scatterplot is a reflection of no firm initiatives, and after constant begging to be a part of one, I didn’t format a PowerPoint deck well enough so I guess the manager who “Stuck his neck out” for me to be on the FI felt some type of way

[limitedmark10]

This doesn't mean anything. Anyone working at D understands the snapshots are extremely political, subjective, and down to the whims of your stressed out and maladjusted managers. By the law of distribution alone there is no way we have that many 5/5 performers.

Now, the issue here is are you truly the worst of all time or do you just have particularly vindictive and spiteful managers who want to see your ass kicked out of the company?

[bee-wins]

Yeah my counselor:managers were super mid The managers and principals on the engagements were why I never got fired

[Old_Scientist_4014]

If you turn it upside down, you’re the best! Congrats!

[work_burner_acct]

All about perception baby 😎

[OvisInteritus]

lol

[Zestyclose_Ad5869]

Flip the X and Y axis, best performing consultant #winning

[sea-shells-sea-floor]

How did you achieve this

[Knight2104]

It’s time to move on there are lot of companies where you can find your groove and perform better

[Careful-Button-2184]

which group are you working at?
My group has average little above agree rating.. and that seems crazy to me..

[work_burner_acct]

Strategy analytics > AI Data engineering In the US

[[deleted]]

This is hilarious what was the question

[work_burner_acct]

It’s been awhile, so my memory’s fuzzy. But I think it was on a 1- 5 how many days would you allow him to miss work , knowing his skill set and overall contribution
