In the company I work for employee evals are rated:
Exceeds expectations
Meets expectations
Fails to meet some expectations
Fails to meet most expectations
Our manuals stats clearly that Meets is a good rating and and that Exceeds should only be noted when employee rises way above and beyond yada yada...
The offshore goobers (a country over between Pakistan and Thailand) and the under 25’s get angry when they do not get Exceeds in every category.
I tell my own kids on scales from 1-10 I never give a 10 unless you were absolutely perfect and a 9 is almost as hard. If I give you a 7-8 on something (like a sports performance) that was good.

It must be an ‘age’ thing.
In ‘my Navy’ of the mid 50’s-mid 60’s, while a 4.0 was perfect for evals (believe there were 5 categories) and the ‘good working types’ would get a 3.6 or so (average) while the ‘kiss arses were around 3.8’ 3.9/4.0 meant someone was lying, either the person doing the grading or the subject was an outstanding kiss arse.
Fast forward to my local VFW in the 90’s, some young wave (E5 or E6) was bemoaning the fact she ONLY got 4.0 and was afraid she wouldn’t get promoted....Just talking to her and from her outward uniform appearance, it was hard to imagine here getting 3.0’s etc....
