When everybody exceeds expectations then the expectations are too low.

I'm talking more about cases when there are (for instance) initially 4 "exceeds expectations" seniors out of a department of 50, and management really just wanted a max of 2. So they curve things more harshly until only 2 get "exceeds expectations."
