sergebroomI hope that the mathematics used to calculate my job's overall performance rating will work in my favor this year.
The way it works is something like this. There are 5 categories within the review, each with its own score. The individual scores are then summed then divided by 5. Now, if one used normal mathematics, a 3.8 out of 5 score would be rounded up to 4, not rounded down to 3. The rounding-down is what happened last year, after quite a few years of getting a 4. On the bright side, I don't expect my final score will be a 2.9. Maybe 3.1 so I guess I'm safe from further decrease in my final rating.
