Having endured several such calibration sessions at FB/Meta I can also assure you that we are not even talking about 'large' numbers before there is a strong expectation that the ranking totals within an org will meet the predicted curve when it comes to the percentage at exceeds, meets, and meets most. I distinctly remember wasting more than 15 minutes of my life arguing with a skip level manager that someone who had course corrected and delivered solid work while digging themselves out of a PIP was at least a meets before eventually realizing this manager had a quota of meets most to fill and the person we were discussing was destined for that bucket just to make the numbers look as expected.

Polish your resume, the guillotine is coming and there's nothing I can do to save you.

I tried for you, remember me when your next job is hiring managers.

Or if you know a team is hiring internally then push them towards that.

Ideally you'd do this before calibration so the rating doesn't mess it up.
