> We should start a rating boycott where we rate highest for all ratings.
This company I've worked at for about a year now is the first place I've been exposed to worker ratings in my career, and this has been my strategy. I refuse to play the game, and give everyone a perfect score no matter what. It absolutely does not benefit us workers in any way to give someone less than perfect marks across the board. It is literally nothing but a tool used by management to provide justification when it comes time to downsize. Furthermore I've noticed that it tends to breed a culture of distrust and backstabbing among colleagues, who may use the opportunity as retribution for personal slights. It's an awful policy.
