Since there are so many idiots out there bloviating about how Microsoft’s review system is somehow responsible for the companies decline, I thought I’d share some review materials from when I was a manager in 1997 and the company was at the top of its game and had destroyed almost all of its competitors just prior to the DOJ trial.   These were our manager review directives from Brad Silverberg, also responsible for shipping the Windows 95 Operating System.  As you can see, the stack rank and curve existed long before Steve Ballmer became CEO.  Obviously as a manager I was reviewing my own folks and struggling to deal with how to fit a team of extremely talented and competitive people into the required stack and curve their scores appropriately.  I wish I could show some illustrative reviews but I’m afraid that I can only present one of my own as an example of how a Microsoft review was presented in that era.  They key point is that they did not change substantially under Ballmer, stock grants replaced option grants due to changes in accounting practice and the size of the awards became  much sparser during the recession.  The bitching about it sounds about the same to me today as well.  I’m sure it will come as a huge shock to learn that people were always pissed about their reviews, demoralized, engaging in sabotage and sulky-quitting even in an era where the options grants added up to millions.

Subject: August review

As part of the AICG management team, you play a critical role in the review process: from making sure people get open and honest feedback, to helping set the right objectives and priorities, to rewarding outstanding performance, to making tough decisions, and helping develop our employee talent.  This is a long mail full of info to help you manage the review process.  Please read it carefully and contact the “AICGHR” team if you have any questions.   If there are leads or managers on your team who should have access to this information but did not receive it – please forward.

Performance Philosophy:

The review process was established to give employees direct feedback on their performance, to set or reset individual and team goals, and to assist in compensating employees based on their contribution.  In addition to doing the regular things we do as part of review, we have the opportunity to step back and think about how individuals have responded to the changes and turbulence of the past year.  Who’s kept their momentum?  Who’s stalled?  This should be part of the feedback process as well.

My expectation is that you will set aside time to do a thorough job writing reviews and preparing for the review meeting with your employees.  The written reviews should be open, honest, complete and constructive.  Every manager has an obligation in the written review and in the review meeting to say concretely, with examples and remedies, what the person has done well and not so well; areas of strength as well as areas needing improvement.

I expect you as a manager to have goals on the process of management.  Managers who provide employees with clear personal and work goals, good planning and follow-up/feedback have more effective, productive teams.  This is also the time to have discussions with employees about development opportunities, either within their current roles or as a career step.  Feedback from employees in surveys, exit interviews and conversations over the last 18 months have shown us that development and career concerns rank highly as an employee issue.

I want to especially emphasize the need for a good “spread” in rewards.  This is designed to ensure that we really give exceptional rewards to our exceptional performers.

Review Ratings and Distribution Curve:

A key part of performance management at Microsoft is the rating and ranking of employees.

The review definitions are not absolute; ratings are relative to others at that level in the organization.  Ratings are done on a curve to ensure that we are differentiating performance and that divisions apply performance ratings consistently. 

The performance ratings for each division should be:

Rating                    Distribution     

>3.5                        35%     

3.5                          40%     

<3.5                        25%

I realize that in very small groups it may not be possible to hit the distributions, but as the models get consolidated, the distributions should be hit, and certainly all the models for my directs should hit the curve.

Compensation Philosophy:

We pay for performance.  Our compensation philosophy balances base pay, bonus and stock to be extremely competitive in the industry.  This year, the merit budget is 6% which is slightly above what other high tech companies are paying in salary increases.  The merit budget will vary from year to year based on external business conditions, company performance and competitive market rates.

Once again this review, we want to be more explicit about what is part of merit pay and what adjustments we are making for key individuals.  We want to place well performing product group employees in our core ladders comfortably in the range and leverage variable rewards such as bonus and stock toward our best performers.

Merit increases and Adjustments:

Merit increases reward sustained performance and should recognize the overall value Microsoft places on contribution.  The merit increase should move the employee through the salary range based on ongoing performance and contribution level.

With the goal of moving our core product employees close to or above the midpoint of the ranges, we will allow adjustments to be given on a case by case basis.  Adjustments should be targeted to technical employees who are our top performers in levels 11 and 12 who have a tenure of 4 years or less.  All adjustments will be approved by the Group VPs when the review models are submitted.  No adjustment should be communicated to employees until the final review models have been approved.

Promotions:

Promotions for the division should be kept to 22% for the year.  This includes all promotions for both August ’97 and February ’98 Review.  Promotions to levels 11 or below should be granted only to employees who have achieved a 3.5 or higher over the last several review periods.  For level 12 promotions, the employee should have at least a 4.0 this period and a 3.5 the previous (and I definitely prefer consecutive 4.0′s).   You should complete the promo justification form for any proposed promotion.

Bonus:

The bonus award is targeted at performance during the review period.  It covers results and overall contribution.  There has sometimes been a notion that the bonus is “50% results, 50% hard work”.  That’s not how we’ll be doing bonus. Bonus is for results and overall contribution.  Of course, some aspect of the bonus is for the intangible contributions a person makes that may not translate directly to the person’s own results but did make the group perform better.

As with merit and adjustments, the bonus should be leveraged to reward significant amounts to the top performing employees over this last review period.   I expect to see a good spread. 

The bonus budget will remain at 10% of eligible salaries with the actual bonus range from 0-30%. I really do want to see the best performers get the best rewards.

What this means is that a “normal” 3.5 should get a 7-8% bonus, with some receiving up to 10%.  Many 3.0 performers should not get a bonus at all.  This leaves “extra” bonus money that can be used to reward our top performers.

The bonus distribution should approximate the matrix below:

Rating  Distribution     

4.5 -  5.0           15 – 30%

4.0                    11 – 14%

3.5                    7 – 10%

3.0                    0 – 6% (many will not get a bonus)

2.5                    0

Stock:

Stock is intended to provide a sense of ownership in the company to key contributors who are identified as providing long-term potential contribution to Microsoft.  Current  performance and skill set is not the sole factor to be considered since it is assessed separately in the merit and bonus portion of the rewards system.  Consider overall performance, flexibility and impact on the company if the employee were to leave.

In the past, stock has been distributed in a way that dilutes the value to the top ranked people.  Once again the theme of “good spread” comes up: we will see more people getting no stock as well as more people in the top category, getting more stock.  No stock should be given to those in the D category.

                        Category                                              Distribution     

A – Absolute must keep                                         15% of people

B – Hard to replace high level performer            25% of people

C – Potential for growth – solid                            35% of people

D – Uncertain for long term potential                  25% of people

Stack Ranking

Stack ranking will be done this August. DAD will continue to use the 1-9 approach.  ICCD and Tools will use the 1-5 approach. Rank by function (e.g. development, test, marketing, ue, management).  Using the 1 through N approach makes it hard to roll up at a division of 3000+ people.

Training

There are several training opportunities available to you this review.  I encourage you to take advantage of these programs if you are new to the review process, or consider them a good refresher.  The courses are:

Setting Great Goals and Objectives

Giving Feedback and Recognition that Counts

Developing Careers with The MS Competency Tool Kit

I’ve attached a mail below with additional information about the training opportunities, and link to the enrollment tool.

Good reviews, good models

There are a number of ways we measure performance: stock, stack rank, merit salary increase, rating, and bonus.  I’ve listed them in order from “longest term” to “shortest term”.  That is, the stock assignment should reflect the person’s long term contributions and value to the company in the future, independent of what the person has contributed in the past.  It is a forward looking, long-term based measurement.  Stack rank is mostly long-term based (75% “lifeboat drill”) has a short term component and will fluctuate somewhat from period to period.  Merit increase reflects the short term performance for the review period, but since salary is a (mostly) monotonic increasing function (i.e., very few people ever get pay cuts) it gets weighted with the person’s future potential.  So a person who has “peaked” in level will get smaller merit increases than an up and comer.  Rating and bonus are strictly short term measurements and backward looking — they cover only the period just completed.

Obviously, these measurements are interrelated.  Sustained strong short term performance translates to someone climbing the stack rank and thus getting promoted to higher levels and receiving more stock.

When I look at a model I look for correlations.  Stock and stack are very closely tied.  I don’t expect to see D’s at the top of the stack rank, nor A’s at the bottom.  The typical pattern is that as you go down the stack rank, you go from A’s to B’s to C’s to D’s.  It’s not a complete 100% correlation, so you’ll see some B’s sprinkled at the bottom of the A’s, etc., since stack has a shorter term component than stock.

Similarly, bonus and rating are very highly correlated.  A 3.0 should not get a 10% bonus, no matter how hard the person worked.  Bonus is for results, remember?  A 3.0 says, “did the job, no more, no less”.  Someone who worked super hard but got 3.0 results is in need of career counseling as the person is likely in the wrong job to work that hard but get mediocre results.  A 4.0 should not get an 8% bonus.  We want to really reward exceptional performance.   Shade towards the low end of the range for “soft” scores and at the high end for “almost but not quite the next higher rating”.
