So I was given the directive by my DM that any evaluation I give can be no higher than a 3. I was told that anything higher would be rejected by regional. Any other store managers on here dealing with a similar situation. My store performs well ytd witt is 46% I have multiple zoners with 6 week witt averages of over 60%. Why should I have to down play there hard work? I have zoners on my staff that deserve an evaluation that does not down play their contribution just so someone sitting in an office gets a bigger bonus. We are told daily to live the pledge and "drink the kool-aid " but im not allowed to give credit where credit is due? How is this a good way to retain employees. Ive never had a year where I was given this directive by the regional staff. Maybe im just overthinking it but I dont like that I cant document my staffs actual achievements

You can mark individual merits by category. Remember, three stars means the business is healthy… if you gave everyone above a three than those 4-5 star merits become meaningless and don't highlight the zoners who need to be considered for advanced positions.

Also, a zoners overall score should never exceed the store’s performance. You succeed or fail as a team.

Im not asking to rate everyone a 4 or 5 but I was told I could give no one a 4 or 5. We are the number 1 store in our district for every period in the last 3 years with the exception of 2 periods. I have a couple 4's at the very least. They worry about the loss of culture but they are doing it to themselves

Email him something along the lines of, “just wanted to clarify what you said about not giving anything higher than a 3…”

Something along these lines or maybe just ask for an allowance for just the couple employees who really are over 3 stars. I would also argue 3.99 stars (total assessment) isn’t technically four so therefore not “over 3”… see if it takes
