Forced Ranking Is Damaging Employee Morale

Procurement specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive compensation and benefits, strong pension, exposure to large and complex projects, and opportunities to work with experienced technical professionals. Safety remains a core company value.

Cons

Employee morale has declined following the introduction of a forced ranking performance system. Requiring a fixed percentage of employees to be rated as low performers creates unnecessary internal competition, reduces collaboration, and can overlook actual team contributions. Career advancement often feels inconsistent and influenced by organizational politics rather than performance. Frequent reorganizations and increasing bureaucracy also make it difficult to build long-term career momentum.
