I think most of the Software giants follow the bell curve system(Which GE promoted and became succcessful). Jack Welch said it took 10 years for them to stream line the system and make benefit out of it. I do not think soft ware professionals/managers spend 5 years continously in a company. More over most companies do not keep employees competetive. In schools/colleges people do not complain if one gets 90% and the other gets 70% becasue they knew this % diff is because of their performance. But the same does not happen in the current scenario. People have been set KRA's and reviewed finally b4 apprisals and since they are forced to follow the bell curve peple get lots here. It is very dishartening to see people considering to quit based on every apprisal results. They should be knowing what they get based on their performance. There is some thing fundamentally wrong here. But to make this more effective companies should have good middle management which many companies lack.
