![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Microsoft also made headlines when they axed their curve-rated performance appraisal in 2013 to adopt a better fitting method, but it looks like Facebook is considerably late to the axing party. I could go on, but this is not the first time the bell-curve ranking system has received negative reviews. Thankfully, Uber threw out this performance appraisal rating method following further negative publicity and decided to transform its appraisal strategy focusing on feedback and improvements instead. “A Harvard Law School study found that women are 1.4 times more likely to receive subjective feedback in their performance reviews that have nothing to do with how well they can do the job.” - Monica Torres, Ladders In some instances, bell-curve ranking can even be discriminatory. A lawsuit in 2017 against Uber by a former engineer, felt the company’s ranking system was discriminating against women and the lower rankings meant lower pay and fewer promotions.įor example, there will be employees that are meeting the requirements of their role but cannot go that extra mile due to a protected characteristic. Perhaps a pregnant woman on amended lighter duties that cannot work longer hours or do overtime may be marked down against her peers that can. When employees are performing to an equal standard, gender bias research has shown that unconscious bias will determine the final score. Great performers are still averageĮven employees that perform well may be placed in the middle ‘average’ group which isn’t exactly a motivating classification to be given and is particularly bad as they make up the majority of the team. If 70% of the employees are working the best they can and are still considered average by the company, then what is that going to do to their engagement levels? They are going to feel demoralised and lack productivity going forward, which will ultimately result in them leaving the company one way or another. ![]() Managers are forced to put employees in a specific rating just to meet the bell-curve requirements, meaning that some people are graded as ‘bad’ or ‘below average performers’, when that may not even be the case. The lower scoring employees could still be great performers who meet the role expectations, but are pushed into this bottom category simply because there is nowhere else to place them against their peers in this rigid model. The bell-curve model helps management to very quickly identify the top performers, which will prompt reward benefits and recognition that can go a long way to retaining the best talent within the organisation. If you have employees that like to work competitively, or work in a cut-throat environment such as hard sales or commission focused, the stack ranking method could increase productivity amongst the team to drive sales to avoid being placed in the low-scoring percentage. Can be a motivational tool for productivity Managers tend to rate performance leniently to not create any tension, avoiding the often uncomfortable (but necessary) conversations that could demotivate staff if communicated poorly. The bell-curve ranking system doesn’t really care about that, and forces management to have those difficult conversations about poor performance meaning serious issues could be addressed right there and then. Pushes management to deal with issues promptly So, what are the pros and cons of the bell curve rating system? Pros #1. The reason why it’s sometimes referred to as ‘forced ranking’ is because managers have to do just that - forcibly rank all of their team into one of the stated categories regardless of whether they are all performing well or not, which surprisingly can be beneficial in some instances but damaging in others. Non-Performers or Below Average Performers (10%).If you’re unfamiliar with the bell curve rating system in performance appraisals, simply put, it’s a performance evaluation method that force ranks employees into a bell-shaped best to worst scale, which often looks something like this: Let's explore the limited pros and many cons of the controversial bell curve method of performance appraisals and look at its impact on the Company culture ![]()

If you have a question, ask someone smarter than you, right? From the quality of the posts, I can see that there are some smart people here, and I hope my question isn't stupid. I am trying to print colored text on a sheet of "vellum", plastic really, or translucent paper (43lbs.), letter-sized, on a Dell 3100cn color laser printer. The only paper setting using the Manual Paper Feed (MPF) that will recognize and try to print is "Transparency". When I chose that option, the paper feeds, but then stops, and I receive and error message to open the back of the printer and remove the sheet. I have tried all other paper (plain 1, plain 2, cover 1, cover 2, label, coated 1, coated 2, etc.), and in all cases, the response is "Load XXX". I have printed on this very brand and color of translucent paper in the past with color laser printers without problem, so I believe it can be done, but I have not had any success at all trying to print on my 3100cn with this paper or its lighter version. Is it the paper? Is it my printer? I was under the impression that the Dell 3100cn could print on "vellum" or translucent paper. If you know how to configure the Dell 3100cn to print on this type of paper, please reply as soon as possible.Hello my lovely paper crafters. Translucent Beauty of Embossed Vellum Papers You can view my previous embossing tutorials for Embossing Brown Paper Lunch Bags HERE, Embossing Toilet Paper HERE, Embossing Aluminum Foil HERE, and DIY Embossed Envelopes HERE! It’s Rebecca, aka Cre8tiva, with a beautiful Mixed Media technique tutorial – How to Emboss Vellum! You have to try this to understand just how elegant Embossed Vellum Paper can be! You will discover so many uses for this crafting technique, especially for Handmade Cards, Mixed Media Collage, and Junk Journals!! I have been embossing almost everything that I can find lately. The loveliness of these papers when embossed makes me giddy. The translucent papers develop a deeply etched texture that just screams to be used in your paper art! Depending on the embossing folder you choose, the paper becomes frosty in some places, giving it another layered nuance. I actually prefer a busy pattern with vellum. Deep embossing plates also work well in this process. I urge you to experiment and determine what works best in your machine. Trimmed to size of machineĪ word about the Vellum. For our tutorial we are using manmade Vellum Papers for the Arts and Crafts market. Traditional Vellum is made from calfskin. Not using that! Today, there are many faux vellum and vellum-type papers out there in several different weights and colors. You can even find Heavyweight Translucent Vellum Cardstock. I tested several different weights and types – Vellums, Tracing Paper, and a translucent Parchment Paper. TIP: From my research, I prefer a 32-40 lb. HINT: Heavier weight papers and cardstocks tend to tear when embossed, but this can be used to your advantage in many ways. You can see the different levels of translucency in the dark areas under the paper.Ī word about the embossing folders. An embossing folder is made of a heavy plastic which is folded in two. It has a pattern or design moulded into it. ![]() It has a positive side where the pattern is raised and a negative side where the design is recessed. The folders come in a few different sizes and different styles. There are thin folders, Medium folders, thick textured folders, and thicker 3D folders.

I have seen a few other sizes: 1” border designs, 3”x 4” designed for Artist Trading Cards, and a few larger – 6-1/2″ x 4-1/2″, 8” x 8”, and 8-1/2” x 11”designs.

The karts here are fast – like, really fast. ![]() ![]() ![]() That didn't help, it still gives the same errors. I'm sure BMW has an install document somewhere for the Linux/Oracle version, but probably only in German.”If you get that warning I suggest you create a 32 bit wine prefix, install the right stuff (corefonts,d3dcompiler43,d3dx43) and launch planetside 2 from the 32bit prefix with winxp settings. When I tried to install it natively on Fedora, all the error messages are in German, so I gave up after about the 10th error that I had rectified (muddling through debug with the help of Google translate) and managed to install most of the data components into Oracle, but still didn't have it working. The TIS has Linux compatible binaries on the distribution and will install with Oracle for the database (Oracle personal edition is available as a free distribution). If it was Unix it would've been much easier. It used to require an ancient version of that too. It does work great though, already ran the VANOS test without issue.Įven the online TIS (for vehicles made after december 2007) requires Explorer. DIS you have to run through bootcamp, and once under bootcamp since bootcamp only supports 7 or 8, you have to run it in a vmware or other emulator! I can run TIS on my mac using the link above, but for DIS I have to reboot into windows. And windows 9X or something that old for that matter. So I hit "Zoom" in the X11 drop-down menu, and I can get an application bar along the top of my screen, with normal Mac buttons on the left, and in the center is the X11 icon with "TIS" next to it, exactly like the app in your screenshot - but there's no app underneath, just my desktop or whatever else is running. I get some window with some disclaimer about hydrogen vehicles and then I hit "Close" and all that is left is a teeny tiny bar with a close button as well as grayed out minimize and maximize buttons. Did you get asked that?Ģnd EDIT: Okay, I think I actually AM running TIS. The instructions state that the program should ask this right after it asks me to specify a hard disk or CD installation. Is this what Windows users feel like all the time?ĮDIT: One more thing I noticed - whenever I'm running the TIS setup, it's not asking me weather or not I want to install a desktop shortcut (icon). It's supposedly installed - but I can't find it anywhere. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to run TIS. So now both TIS and Sysadmin appear as installed programs in my WINE Control Panel. It then proceeded to download a ton of files and then said setup was complete. I was able to get the needed ODBC drivers installed and successfully installed the Sysadm utility as a standalone app on my desktop. I'm no guru but the provided documentation was adequate for me. Mission accomplished.Īnyway if you decide to try it, expect half an hour of setup. The WineBottler app lets you package a WINE application as a stand-alone icon on the OSX desktop, and loads WINE under the covers with no fuss. NOTE that my X11 likes to start the windows minimized for some reason, so just zoom them fullscreen from the menu. and it only consumes about 100MB of RAM in my case. TIS asks if the odbc install succeeded, say yes and carry on.Īssuming you do it correctly, you get this: you may see a prompt to re-install the odbc drivers i said 'yes', waited for the odbc sub-install to begin, then canceled it. Install the Sysadmin shell, then the TIS as per the included instructions. Once WINE is installed, use the wine-dos prompt to navigate to the TIS DVD and run autorun.exe. The KEY difference here is that you are not running XP, just emulating the core libraries, so WINE actually runs faster and takes less memory than truly running XP inside Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Select XP as the emulated operating system. You'll need an OSX machine with at least v10.5.x and apple's X11 installed Install Wine and create a Prefix with the ODBC dlls included via the Wine Control Panel. Note that I did have to buy a TIS DVD for $20.00 off ebay. If don't know what the TIS is, you can skip this post and go back to thinking about bunny rabbits or something.įor those still here, the solution I used was the free windoze emulator called WINE compiled for OSX along with an application packager called WineBottler. The same theory should work on nearly any Linux distro. ![]() Loading Parallels and a full XP emulation was too slow and a also memory pig. ![]() So I wanted to get the TIS running naitively on OSX for free. ![]() ![]() The Bad Ending gives us a cutscene, where we wake up as the Guest looks at us a blows up the wall.
