By December 2024, a key product manager at Gestrava Technology Corporation, a leading US-based technology company, had developed a reputation for delivering high-impact results on complex initiatives, often going beyond his core responsibilities. The company’s performance management process included a stacked ranking system, which required managers to distribute employee ratings across predetermined bands. The highest rating of “5—Exceptional” was tied to promotion readiness, higher bonus payouts, and long-term career progression. However, the product manager was shocked to receive a rating of “4—Exceeds Expectations,” even though colleagues and cross-functional partners had expressed strong support throughout the year, with some colleagues suggesting that he was next in line for promotion. As the initial frustration faded and a potential reorganization was looming, he had to make a decision.
